About this spot

An annual summer festival held community-wide with Shiraishi Station-front Street as the venue. The street is lined with numerous food stalls, and attractions like goldfish scooping and cotton candy create a carnival atmosphere. Reflecting Shiraishi's heritage as a prosperous castle town under the Katakura family, the station-front street also features long-established shops, allowing you to enjoy the contrast between the castle town's daytime history walk and the festive night atmosphere. An event symbolic of Shiraishi's summer where diverse generations from local children to adults gather.

Tips

The station-front street often becomes a pedestrian-only zone during the festival period, making it easy to navigate even with a stroller. Food stalls can get crowded early, so visit early if you're peckish. Watch for traffic restrictions around the station at night.
