Visitors can purchase beef tickets in advance or on the day to enjoy a barbecue-style meal using provided charcoal grills. The festival also features various stalls selling local produce, seafood, and gourmet dishes. Expect crowds and potentially long lines for popular items like Shiraoi beef barbecue and burgers. A free shuttle bus runs from Shiraoi Station, making it easily accessible. Be prepared for outdoor conditions, including temporary restroom facilities.
