Naniwa-no-miya ato Park, Osaka

Wasso is a spectacular carnival commemorating the cultural exchange between Japan and other Asian countries. More than 1,000 participants will reenact extravagant ceremonies held in those times. One of the highlights is the grand parade of ancient Chinese, Korean, and Japanese courtiers, which starts at 1:30pm. Thousands of costumed people will parade around the park while dancing to traditional music. Enjoy Korean and Japanese cuisine and don’t miss the chance to try on a traditional folk costume. A child-friendly area with Wasso-related activities will also be set up.
