On Monday, January 13 (national holiday), Nishitsu supporter Kagayaki No. 509 spotted a “shishimai lion dance” visiting various shops at ACTA Nishinomiya.
It was bustling with quite a lot of shoppers.
It’s pretty big and really impressive.
This is how it parades around inside ACTA.
The new Starbucks opening along Route 171 this March. A new location opened at Gardens last year too, so it feels like good fortune is coming their way!
Mister Donut. Looks like they’re selling lucky bags too!
The shishimai performed at all kinds of shops, bringing good fortune their way.
So many people gathered in the circular plaza too.
Of course, it also made its way around the dining area on the first floor.
And amazingly, it even visited “Nishinomiya Kitaguchi Dental and Oral Surgery Clinic”! It’s a dependable clinic that was open for treatment over the year-end and New Year holidays too.
It also appeared at Baskin-Robbins, a much-anticipated new shop this year that’s planned to open near Kotoen Station and at Corowa. The staff were all smiles too♪
Finally
It seems to be an annual event, so if you missed the shishimai at ACTA Nishinomiya this year, be sure to check it out next year.
※Thank you to Kagayaki No. 509 @ Nishitsu-sp for the information!!
