Why You Should Visit
One of western Japan's largest food-and-entertainment festivals, with around 60 food stalls filling Taiyo-no-Hiroba Plaza in Osaka Castle Park. Graze your way through ramen, mala soup, offal fried rice, lean-cut steak and more. The stage hosts an idol festival with around 40 groups, a karaoke contest, and a kids' dance competition. Admission is free with free re-entry, so it's an easy add-on to a stroll around Osaka Castle.
