Early Dinner Along Honmachi Street Before the Festival Begins
About this spot
The area around Honmachi Street, the festival venue, is usually a quiet shopping district. Visiting before 5 PM when the festival starts allows you to enjoy local home-style cuisine at local restaurants without crowds. In the soft evening light, surrounded by mountains, you can experience the atmosphere of a small mountain-valley castle town. Be sure to have a good meal before the festival begins.
