Why You Should Visit

The 49th edition of Yao's signature autumn festival celebrating Kawachi Ondo, the local folk-dance music born in this area. Venues around Kintetsu-Yao Station—the station plaza, the LINOAS mall, and Yao Elementary School—host stage performances and the Kawachi Ondo Grand Prix singing competition. Join the dance circle or just listen to the masters; being right at the station makes it an easy stop.
