Next stop: The main Shinjo Festival event with elaborate ornamental floats from each town block parading through the streetsAbout this spot
The shopping street extending from Shinjo Station has various restaurants, convenient for a meal before the float procession begins at 5 PM. During the festival period, the station area is filled with festive atmosphere, with lanterns lighting up along the street. By having dinner during this time in preparation for the 5 PM procession, you can enter the main viewing area before the crowd becomes too dense.
Tips
As the procession start time approaches, the crowd along the street increases, so it's safer to finish your meal before 4 PM. If you opt for takeout, make sure to get plenty of drinks.
Best time to visit
About 50 minutes needed. Early afternoon (before 4 PM) is relatively easy to find seating.
