The author, who is KuwanaCity and has experience involved in the festival, wants as many people as possible to know about the wonders of IshidoriFestival, so he narrowed down the many attractions as much as possible! Squeeze! I included it in the article. There are many other attractions other than the ones I have introduced, and I think each person has their own way of enjoying it!
