Handmade Summer Festival Created by Shopping Streets and Local Organizations

About this spot

A community-focused summer festival held on Shante Dori Street in front of Higashirinkan Station on the Odakyu Enoshima Line. The 2026 event runs for two days, August 1 and 2, with the target day being the first day. The main event runs from 5:20 p.m. to 8 p.m., but stalls run by shopping street member stores and local activity groups begin setting up around 2:30 p.m. The charm lies in this not being a major corporate event but rather built by community members and local businesses, creating a warm and homemade atmosphere. The moment when the street in front of the station is enveloped in the light of lanterns and food stalls, crowded with families, is a summer scene to treasure.

Season & hours

Tips

Since stalls begin around 2:30 p.m., coming early to enjoy the atmosphere is recommended. The area around the venue becomes a pedestrian-only zone, and parking/bike parking near the station is limited, making train travel the most convenient option.

Best time to visit

From the 5:20 p.m. opening, after 6 p.m. when the lanterns are lit is when the festival becomes most lively.
