Kariya City
Kariya is
a city in Aichi prefecture. When you come to Kariya, it takes
about 20 minutes from Nagoya by train.
In Kariya,
there are some nice places to visit, and I will recommend one
of them.
That is the
General Athletic Park. The park has a stadium.When WAKASHACHI
KOKUTAI:the National Athletic Meet in Aichi was held in 1994,
a soccer tournament was held in that stadium. Soccer is very popular
in Kariya, so you may be able to watch various soccer tournaments
if you come on Sunday. And on Sunday or holidays, you can also
see a lot of people enjoying a barbecue there. There is Aizuma
river side of the park, so the park is a very famous place
to take a barbecue party especially in summer. In summer some
festivals are held. And at the park, there is a display of fireworks
late in July. It is one of the most popular event of the Wansaka
festival. A lot of people enjoy the festival and there are
some women wearing Yukata
Japanese
traditional wear. In winter trees are decorated with decorative
light bulbs. Those illuminations are so fantastic!
