Kumano Shrine is on the north side of Koshienguchi, past the diagonal road and across Yamate Kansen.
This year, the summer festival and Bon Odori dance were held on July 21 and 22, so we’re looking back on those memories. “Summer Festival Memories” will be a seven-day series reported by Kagayaki No. 509, a Nishitsu supporter. This is Part 1.
In front of Kumano Shrine’s main hall. So many people!!!
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 3-26 Kumanocho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
A true festival classic. The headliner. The original. Super balls were sitting proudly there, and there seemed to be lots of kids around.
Popular summer festival attractions like lucky ball games and shooting galleries were lined up.
The one in front might be grilled squid. Food and drinks were back this time, so the festival felt even livelier.
Still, when did these mysterious flashy glowing things start taking over summer festivals? lol
