Takatsuki Damashii!! 2026

Why You Should Visit

A free open-air rock festival that turns the grounds of an elementary school in Takatsuki into a concert stage. Three locals started it in 2014 to liven up their hometown, and 2026 marks the 13th edition. Around 20 acts take part, including Masayoshi Oishi, Gagaga SP and Hana*Hana, plus a "One Song, Full Soul" stage where each artist plays a single song. There are no tickets or reservations, and the venue is a 10-minute walk from both JR and Hankyu stations, so you can drop in just for the acts you want to see.
