On Monday, January 13 (national holiday), Nishitsu supporter Kagayaki 509 spotted a “shishimai lion dance” visiting various shops at ACTA Nishinomiya.
The place was bustling with quite a lot of visitors.
It’s pretty big and impressive, isn’t it?
It parades through ACTA like this.
Starbucks will be opening a new location on Route 171 this March. A new store also opened at Gardens last year, so it feels like a good omen!
Mister Donut. They’re selling lucky bags too!
The lion dance is performing at all kinds of shops to bring good fortune their way.
So many people gathered at the circular plaza too.
Of course, it also makes its way around the restaurant area on the first floor.
It even visited “Nishinomiya Kitaguchi Dental and Oral Surgery Clinic”! It’s a dependable clinic that was open even during the year-end and New Year holidays.
What’s more, it also appeared at Baskin-Robbins, a new shop to watch this year that’s planned to open near Kotoen Station and in Corowa. The staff were all smiles too♪
Lastly
It seems to be an annual event, so if you missed the shishimai lion dance at ACTA Nishinomiya, be sure to check it out next year.
※Thank you to Kagayaki 509 @ Nishitsu-sp for the tip!!
