This year, in order to eliminate the long lines that were an issue last year, the food area has been expanded and 42 stores are being recruited, a 20% increase.
This year's food area will communicate the fun of festivals and the charm of Ibaraki to Friends (participants) through festival food, with the keywords "Festival Food Theme Park" and "Ibaraki, Nationwide, World Premium Festival Food." In addition to menus using ingredients from Ibaraki, the food area will offer an even more carefully selected selection of premium festival food than last year, including gourmet food that is leading the way in Japanese festival food and overseas cuisine.
Additionally, the food area will use containers made from eco-friendly materials, aiming to be an earth-friendly festival.
