Early dinner along the Asahi River to prepare for the main festival event
About this spot
Restaurants are scattered along the Asahi River near Okayama Castle, convenient for a meal before the main festival event. As evening approaches during the festival period, the festive atmosphere builds and crowds increase along the riverbank. By having dinner at this time before the 5 p.m. main event, you can enter the venue before crowds become too dense.
Season & hours
Name: おかやま桃太郎まつり 烏城夏まつり
Date & time: 8/1 (Sat)–8/2 (Sun) Time TBA
Venue: 岡山市北区・岡山城一帯
黒塗りの外観から「烏城」とも呼ばれる岡山城一帯を会場に、桃太郎まつりの一環として開かれる夏まつりです。会場には多くの屋台が並び、夕方から夜にかけて多くの家族連れでにぎわいます。夜にライトアップされた黒い天守と提灯の灯りが重なる景観は、岡山の夏を象徴する光景の一つです。
Tips
会場周辺は夕方から夜にかけて大変混雑するため、後楽園側や旭川沿いなど、人の流れに沿ってゆっくり移動しましょう。屋台での買い物には小銭を多めに用意しておくと便利です。
Tips
As the main event approaches, crowds increase around the castle, so finishing dinner by the 4 p.m. hour is recommended. If opting for takeout, be sure to stock up on beverages.
Best time to visit
Allow about 50 minutes. Early 4 p.m. hours are relatively easy times to secure seating.
