About this spot

A mixed-use commercial complex at the west exit of Kuwana Station, featuring restaurants, supermarkets, and public facilities as a station-front hub. Enjoy an early dinner here before heading to Kasuga Shrine, the festival venue, to make your evening festival viewing more comfortable. The air-conditioned interior is also perfect for taking refuge from the summer heat and resting for a while. Since the surrounding area is expected to be crowded on festival day, it's recommended to finish dinner early with time to spare.

Tips

It's just a short walk from the west exit of Kuwana Station. On festival day, crowds are expected in the evening, so arriving early is safer. Using the restroom here will make movement at the festival venue smoother.
