There's another "Marugoto" fair running at Amu Plaza, this one to promote products from Nagashima. They have a poster advertising a flower festival, and maps showing how to get there from Kagoshima City. I assume there's a tour bus running there, but I don't know the details.
Anyway, this fair is running from the 24th to the 26th, putting it right in the middle of the week, so there weren't that many visitors when I got up there Wednesday afternoon. The primary focus is on Nagashima-made shochu, and the table in the middle here was apparently giving away free cocktails. Right after I got here to take the photo, 10 people immediately lined up, and I figured it wasn't worth hanging around just to get one free drink. Then again, I still had to teach another class a few hours later, and I didn't want to do that drunk.
They have an event stage, but the schedule only listed promotions of the product shops (snacks, tea, local foods). I like the backdrop, though. It's in keeping with the flower festival idea.
