Shopping streets in downtown Obanazawa feature scattered dining establishments, convenient for a pre-festival meal. During the festival period, lanterns light up the streets, and the festival atmosphere builds from evening. If you finish your meal before 5 PM, you can enter the festival venue before crowds build up.
Tips
As the main event approaches, more people line the streets, so finishing your meal before 4 PM is advisable. If you get takeout, be sure to secure plenty of drinks.
Best time to visit
About 50 minutes. Early evening before 4 PM is usually when it's easier to find seating.
