This is one of Osaka’s most stylish seasonal traditions. Held in the heart of the bustling Umeda district, this annual celebration brings classic summer matsuri charm to the city.
There will be discounts for those donning yukata, pop-up events in plazas, and plenty of chances to snap photos with lanterns, parasols, and festival backdrops. There will also be local performers taking the stage with Bon Odori dancing and live music.
