Once a year on the 18th 19th of July Morikoro park has fireworks, a fair, a famous Jpop singer, hip-hop bands and tons of international food stalls. They also had many hands on crafting like Japanese fans, chopsticks, flying things and solar powered frogs/monkeys.

Morikoro park was the site of the 2005 World Expo in Aichi-ken, Japan. Satsuki and Mei’s House , Aichi Expo Museum, Oshibafu Hiroba, Shinrin Rakuen, and Rinsho Koen are located here. In addition they have an ice skating rink and swimming pool with slides plus many other things to see and do. Link is here – Morikoro Park
