Why You Should Visit

Japan Sozai Koshien "ichi" gathers ingredients and regional products from around Japan and lets visitors vote for the country's best ingredient. Its Hyogo round runs for two days at Arimafuji Park in Sanda. Alongside the ingredient area, ten regional food trucks line up, and an autumn harvest corner offers all-you-can-stuff bags of Osaka-grown sweet potatoes and Arida mandarins. There is also a kids' area with traditional festival games and bouncy play equipment, plus a disaster-preparedness corner displaying fire, police and Self-Defense Forces vehicles. Admission is free, making it an easy day out for families.
