What this is
Lantern-lit corridors, roaming performers, mystery-solving activities, and yokai-themed food take over the popular 'Hoi An Street' photo spot inside Kūniwa Onsen OSAKA BAY TOWER for one summer night. Yokai — the supernatural creatures of Japanese folklore — are the theme throughout, turning a normally scenic Vietnamese-style street into something genuinely eerie and playful. It's an immersive walkthrough experience rather than a passive show, with dining and entertainment woven together across the facility.
Who should go
Families with older children, couples, and anyone curious about Japanese folklore who wants something more theatrical than a standard festival. The mystery-solving element gives it enough structure to appeal to adults going without kids.
Good to know
Tickets and reservations are likely handled through the venue directly or via eplus.jp — check the Kūniwa Onsen OSAKA BAY TOWER official site for booking details, as foreign credit cards are generally accepted on eplus. The venue is a large onsen and entertainment complex, so the yokai event runs through specific areas rather than the entire building — follow event signage on arrival. Limited-edition yokai cuisine is likely available in set quantities, so ordering early in the evening is advisable. The Hoi An Street area is a known photo spot, so bring your camera — but confirm the photo policy for any live performance segments on the night.
