Tips
荒天時は中止または順延の場合があるため、当日は主催者の発表を確認しましょう。終了後は駅や駐車場周辺が混み合うため、少し余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめです。足元が暗いのでスマホのライトなどを用意しておくと安全です。
Tips
About 5 minutes by car from JR Owase Station, with free parking available. During Obon season, the facility gets crowded with festival-goers, so early arrival is recommended. Bringing your own towel for the foot bath is convenient.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour 30 minutes. The restaurant gets busy around lunchtime, so arriving around noon is ideal.
