About this event

A one-day event called "Kotatsu Fest Moriya" will be held at Branch Park Moriya in winter, featuring kotatsu (heated tables with blankets) lined up on the lawn. Planned by a university student from Moriya City, this event allows visitors to relax at the kotatsu set up on the lawn plaza with a cup of warm tea in hand, read books brought to the venue, and enjoy board games. A board where people can share "What I like about Moriya" will also be set up, allowing participants to enjoy watching a single tree fill up with everyone's voices as they write their own messages. You might even strike up small conversations with people sitting at the same kotatsu. Why not drop by with family, friends, or even by yourself to spend a heartwarming winter day? Organized by a Tsukuba University student from Moriya, this event lets you enjoy local talks and Moriya gourmet food around kotatsu on the lawn plaza. It is open to residents and workers in the city, with no advance registration required. The event will be held rain or shine, but will be cancelled in the event of severe weather.
