Hirakata City Station

Flow of the course

About this spot

The area around Keihan Hirakata City Station is Hirakata's central district, with restaurants clustered in the directly connected commercial facilities and along the station-front street. With a wide range of options from family restaurants to cafes and set-meal restaurants, the location is perfect for dinner before the fireworks festival. About two hours before the fireworks begin, restaurants in the venue area start to get crowded, so it's wise to finish eating slowly during the 5 PM hour. After your meal, restock with drinks and snacks at a convenience store, then head to the venue.
