⁉️This note can be used as a reference for attending the fireworks festival next year. Please point out any errors. 🎆Water City Kurawanka Fireworks Festival (Hirakata City is located northeast of Osaka and northwest of Nara. It takes about 1 hour to get from both cities to Hirakata City) Number of fireworks: 4704 ⏱️Holding time: September 17, 2023, starting at 19:30 (about 4-5 songs, played with the rhythm of the music, ending at 20:00) 📍Location: Hirakata Venue: Yodogawa River Park Hirakata District Takatsuki Venue: Yodogawa River Park Otsuka District 🚞Transportation: To reach the Hirakata venue, it is about a 10-minute walk from Keihan "Hirakatashi Station". As for the Takatsuki venue, the nearest bus station is the Keihan Bus "Otsuka Station" or the Takatsuki City Bus "Kitaotsuka Station" (We departed from Nara, so we took the Kintetsu Kyoto Line to Kintetsu Tambabashi, and transferred to the Keihan Main Line to Hirakata City Station. Once you get out, just follow the large group. There are police standing along the way, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find the venue. If you depart from Osaka, you can take the Sakaisuji Line to Kitahama Station and transfer to the Keihan Main Line to Hirakata City Station) ❓️Why choose it Although the number of fireworks at the Water City Fireworks Festival is less than that at other fireworks festivals, it is not located in a very remote area. It is just within the itinerary, and you don’t need to go to a remote city to see it. It only takes one hour to get there if you stay in Osaka, Nara or Kyoto. For those traveling in Kansai, it only takes half a day to experience an atmospheric Japanese fireworks display. 🎇What's on site? There was a children's garden party, a water music festival, mobile food trucks and of course temporary toilets on site. ps: If you want to experience it, you can arrive early. The later you go, the more people there are, especially in the food area. I waited in line for an hour to buy three skewers of grilled fish, but it was expensive and not tasty. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to bring your own food, arrive at around 5 o'clock, find a seat, experience the music festival, watch the sunset, eat something leisurely, go to the toilet and wait for the fireworks to start. 🪑About seats When I found out about the fireworks display, the paid seats were already sold out, so I just went for the free seats. It turned out that the site was very open and the visibility was good, but we needed to prepare our own picnic mats (we bought disposable picnic mats). Be sure to buy ones with nails, otherwise they will be easily blown away by the wind. The grassy area at the event site is very large, and the organizers will use poles and ropes to enclose a fixed area for others to sit in. ps: I personally think that this area is too small and not enough. Therefore, more people at the venue find a seat and lay down their mats to sit on (❗️It is recommended to find a seat next to a landmark, such as under a tree or next to a stall, otherwise it will be difficult to find a seat after you leave, especially after dark‼️ Just lay down next to others, don’t worry about no one watching you). If you need to leave temporarily, take your valuables with you and leave some empty bags. We left an empty school bag and a garbage bag. ⭕️Finally, it is recommended that you bring a picnic mat, umbrella, insect repellent, water, food, and garbage bags. Enter and exit the market in an orderly manner, and pay attention to personal and financial safety. I hope everyone can enjoy the wonderful fireworks display 😆～ #fireworksfestival #kansaifireworksfestival #watercityfireworksfestival

Founded in 1912 in Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture, Hirakata Park is believed to be one of the oldest surviving amusement parks in Japan. Although it sounds like an old park, it is still a favorite parent-child family in Osaka One of the attractions is located at the halfway station from Osaka to Kyoto. Many tourists travel between the two places to visit. Hirakata Park covers an area of ​​more than 160,000 square meters and has up to 39 indoor and outdoor rides, including roller coasters, ferris wheels, carousels, coffee cups and other classic rides The wooden roller coaster "ELF" reaching 700 meters, imagine when you are on a roller coaster climbing up The unique friction sound when passing through the wooden track, that slightly thrilling atmosphere, how stimulating the senses 🤭 Another characteristic recreational facility, must count the highest facility in the park Ferris wheel, also known as "air walker", in the body overlooking Kyoto and Osaka in mid-air The vast view is like a walk in the air. In addition, there are many facilities for smaller children in the park, such as small trains, mini cars, carousels, etc., so Meifang Park is really a good one Amusement park for families. In addition to outdoor rides, the park also has an indoor zoo with cute animals such as owls, kangaroos, etc. Visitors can get close to and feed it, which children will love.

I took a stroll around Hirakata, a suburb of Osaka. My destination was YORKIE COFFEE. It's a popular cafe located about a 5-minute walk from Hirakatashi Station. It's a branch of MEKEARISA, a very popular basket bag shop at Hirakatakoen Station, so the shop is colorfully displayed and sold with cute basket bags😍 It's also recommended for those who couldn't buy a bag because the bag shop was full! The original block-printed handkerchiefs are so cute that you'll want to have several of them. The coffee is also very delicious, making it perfect for a break. This is a place to enjoy while walking around Hirakata, which is also known as a historical road with places like Hirakata-juku on the Tokaido Road☕🐶 📍YOKIE COFFEE 10-1 Okamoto-cho, Hirakata-shi, Osaka 11:00-16:00 (until 17:00 on Saturdays) *From Google Map #Osakacafe #Osakagourmet #Hirakata #Hirakatacafe #0yentrip

This park is about an hour away from Osaka city, but it is highly recommended, especially for children. It is a great time to play. There are more than 40 game facilities. All-inclusive admission tickets are 5100 for adults and 4300 for children. If it were a weekday and not a Japanese holiday, the queue would actually be very fast. However, it happened to be a Japanese school holiday, and the queue for the fun rides took 40 minutes. The lights are lit at 6pm only from October to early April. This time I came to see the paradise after the lights were turned on. It was very romantic. #hirakatapark #Osaka

#thingstodo You want to go theme park but can’t effort USJ, I would recommend here! There’s not much rides there and most are very childish as the park its own is very old. You must try riding roller coaster, disco and Ferris wheel! I won’t recommend buying a free pass! Just buy the entrance ticket advance on their website!It’s much cheaper than buying at the entranceThere is also a small zoo, one free and one charged! There’s also a rose garden, recommend to go there at the rose garden season! There are food stall but pricey for me! It’s better to bring your own one, if you’re strict to budget and a big eater

#thingstodo This is a perfect place to visit if you have children and for your-self. There are many activities and rides for you to do and enjoy. Although the fun park is old it is still enjoyable. They have some great places to sit and eat / drink or just rest and relax. They have great facilities around the park and are very clean. I went with a number of school children to use the snow park and although it was more like shaved ice the children had a great time building and sliding and just being silly. Inside also they have a very small zoo (if you can call it that). The staff are very curtious and extremely helpful. All information and maps are clear and easy to follow. Just be-aware that it is a destination for schools as a school trip so it can get very crowded with children. the car park is at the highest point of the park so when you are leaving it is a bit of a hike up. Still a great day out

#thingstodo When I visited, it was the afternoon of the park near the end of the year, but it was not very popular. If you look closely at your feet under the Osaka Higashi Line railway bridge, you'll see a small flower that looks like you might step on it. When you go up to the embankment, you will see someone taking pictures of trains running on the Osaka Higashi Line. I also took some photos and will upload them. This Akagawa area has a free parking lot, so it is very crowded on weekends with families and people enjoying sports. Although there is a fee, there is a tennis court, and on weekends and holidays, the court is rarely empty. There's also a barbecue area..it's convenient because it's next to the parking lot.

We bought a day trip to Keihan, unlimited rides on the Keihan Electric Railway, and included admission to Meifang Park. The advantage of Meifang Park is that you can buy a single game or buy any play tickets (but not including the small animal area) for your choice. The small animal area is toured in a semi-open area, where you can buy feed and feed, children can feed rabbits up close...even kangaroos, see parrots up close... and owls, which are very warm for adults and children. Like to play excitement, of course, there are large roller coasters, also take care of children's small roller coaster, turn turn cup, even the rides are divided into adult area and children area, very courteous. The restaurant in the park tastes good and is cheap, about 700 yen for a meal and 450 yen for a burger. Remember to stay until the evening to experience the lighted amusement park (usually on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, visit the official website of Hikari Park for schedule) In the evening, there is Lantern Square, Flower of Light Tunnel, Butterfly Garden...it's indispensable to take pictures. Take a boat ride to the garden, and then take a train to the park. It's really beautiful! I highly recommend that next time you go to Osaka, you can go to Himaka Park. Both adults and children will love it. #Osaka #HirakataPark #parent-child #kid-kind-animals #rides #photography

#tripfreeaccommodation #wintertravel #HirakataPark #HirakataParkAmusementPark #OsakaAmusementPark #PlayingsnowOsaka #SnowPlacesinKansai #PlacestovisitOsaka #TravelJapan 🎡 Hirakata Park is a family-friendly amusement park located in a corner of Osaka's residential area. There are about 40 rides, divided into ride zones and (fake) snow sled zones. We can choose to buy a ticket to play rides + snow sleds or just play snow. 🎠 From the top, you can not only see the park area, but also see the scenery of both Osaka and Kyoto. There are places to enjoy cute animals and beautiful roses. In summer, enjoy the swimming pool, in winter, enjoy the illuminations, and there is a skating and snow area. 🎢 We bought a pass to enter the snow sled zone only. The entrance is the same as the amusement park. Walk to the very back of the amusement park. Before entering, give the ticket you bought at the entrance to the staff to check. Then walk into the building. There will be lockers and skate equipment for rent. 🏰 After packing up, we can walk inside to play in the snow. It is recommended to prepare gloves. And wear non-slip shoes because the floor is quite slippery. For those who bring children, please prepare play equipment. But if you don't bring it, this place sells it but it's quite expensive. 🗿 The highlight here is the giant rubber sled. But you have to queue up the stairs to slide down. You can sit 2 people at a time. There are staff upstairs to help push it down. We had so much fun that we had to queue 3-4 times. 🎡 After having fun sledding, we took the children to play snow sculpting. Because this place has fake snow, when stepped on it will congeal into ice. It's not as fluffy as real snow. It takes a lot of force to dig. When it's used to make dolls, it doesn't congeal into a ball very well. 🎠 We played in the snow until it started to get cold. We stopped to eat at the food center near the snow field. Here you can find everything from food, snacks, and drinks. No need to waste time going out to eat. 🎢 3-minute walk from Keihan Hirakata Sta. - Opening hours: 10:00-17:00 (depending on the season) - Admission fee: 1,800 yen for junior high school students and above, 1,000 yen for children 2 years and above and under elementary school students

Walking out of the station, the large-scale shopping mall with a modern and full-fledged bay window design in front of you will come into view. The bright lights are very lively. The first floor of Hirakata T-SITE is a casual food area headed by Starbucks. Buy a cup of coffee, a dessert, talk to your girlfriends in the lounge area, and talk to your business partners. The squatter bookstore is not a bookstore in the traditional sense. It is a way of life for modern people, so that guests who come here can feel the warmth of home and will be the most comfortable and relaxed. Good times stay here.
