Early dinner at the station-front shopping street before the festival begins

About this spot

A shopping street spread out in front of Meitetsu Iwakura Station, lined with restaurants and shops that have been loved by locals for many years. It's an ideal place to have an early dinner in the calm atmosphere unique to a station-front area before the main festival begins. Since it takes time to travel to the Adelia General Sports and Culture Center venue, proceed with plenty of time.
