Why You Should Visit
A two-day meat food festival at Sunanomaru Plaza below Wakayama Castle, bringing together food stalls and food trucks selected from across Japan. Zenniku-sai takes a broad view of "meat": beef, pork and chicken, but also seafood and the flesh of fruit. This is the Wakayama stop of a national tour that also visits Nagoya, Shizuoka, Izumo and more. The stage runs live music, a fire-and-light performance, yosakoi dancing and an arm-wrestling contest. Open from 10:00 to 21:00, it works for lunch, dinner or both beneath the castle.
