Final Thoughts
“Akadosha Marche & Kids Festa” is one of Mukodan’s big events. With so many festival stalls, it looks like young kids will have a great time. There’ll be chances to interact with cute small animals, plenty of food options, and lots of stage events too. Hello Kitty is apparently coming as well, so that should make things even more exciting. The relaxed, all-day atmosphere seems perfect for a family outing.
