Is Osaka really Japan’s premier foodie city? Find out at Yatai Fes, a grand gathering of food stalls from across the city.
What happens?
Yatai are the small, pop-up food stalls that set up shop at summer festivals.
At this festival, the idea is scaled up: there will be more than 50 stalls from around Japan offering everything from Hokkaido melon ice cream to phở.
Around the site you’ll find interactive corners including a mobile aquarium and camping cars. Stages will feature live music, idol groups, and anime character shows, with a karaoke contest thrown in for anyone bold enough to take the mic.
How to get there
Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park is about 40 minutes away from Osaka Station. First, take the Osaka Loop Line to Kyobashi Station. Here, change to the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line and get off at Yokozutsumi Station. From there, it’s. 16-minute walk to the park.
Another option is to take the bus #36 from Osaka Station to Yokozutsumi, then walk around 15 minutes. This route does not involve interchanges, but it takes around an hour.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.Add to Calendar
