Sumaderamae Shopping Street Tanabata Festival 2026

Why You Should Visit

An annual summer Tanabata festival hosted by the Sumaderamae Shopping Street, which runs up to the gate of Sumadera Temple. From 4 pm to 8 pm, the shops line up food and games so you can graze your way through a summer evening. As official festival events, a raffle with lavish prizes is held across two venues, alongside goldfish scooping and bouncy-ball scooping. It's a warm, down-to-earth neighbourhood street festival that both kids and adults can drop into easily. Right by Sumadera Station on the Sanyo Electric Railway, it's a good pick for families wanting a local summer-festival mood or anyone out for a casual stroll.
