Kansai festival guide

Find Kansai matsuri without digging through Japanese-only pages.

Kansai Matsuri Web is a focused festival discovery page for matsuri, yatai, hanabi and day-trip planning around Osaka. The goal is simple: fewer tabs, clearer event cards and calendar-friendly data.

Summer matsuri shortlist

Events grouped by distance, food stalls, fireworks and rail access.

Yatai Food-stall friendly

Show events where going just to eat makes sense.

Hanabi Fireworks marker

Separate big evening events from small local festivals.

Transit From Namba

Prioritize travel time instead of vague area names.

Features

What the matsuri page should solve.

Not another generic Japan list. The page should answer the practical questions people actually ask before leaving the house.

01

Event cards that explain the point

Is it worth going for food, fireworks, atmosphere, photos, or tradition? That should be visible fast.

02

Namba-first travel context

Distance is not enough. The useful question is how annoying it is to get there from central Osaka.

03

Searchable names and aliases

Local names, romanized names and practical keywords can live together instead of forcing users to rebuild the same search.

04

Calendar-friendly data

When an event looks good, it should be easy to save it, export it or remember it without rebuilding the search later.

Preview

A cleaner event board.

Fri

Neighborhood matsuri

Good for yatai, evening walk and casual photos.

Status

Separate page now, product later.

This page is intentionally lightweight: it gives the matsuri project its own surface without pretending the full product already exists. The next useful step is connecting real event data and turning the preview cards into live entries.
