What is Ennichi?

Festivals are a part of culture that has been deeply rooted in people's customs since ancient times and have a variety of origins.

Some easy to imagine things include summer festival food stalls, fireworks, and Bon Odori dances.

There are also events such as the Niiname-sai and harvest festivals, in which prayers of gratitude are offered to the gods, and many of these are held at shrines and temples.

The purpose of the festival itself changes depending on the god that is enshrined, so it may be interesting to dig deeper into the history.

Are there festivals overseas too?

Although the format and names of these events are often different from those in Japan, there are still customary events overseas.

There are many essential items for a festival

In Japanese summer festivals, there are many kinds of stalls, like shooting games, ring toss games, and mask shops.

Shooting game, ring toss and water yo-yo fishing can be enjoyed as a type of game, but they are only meaningful if there are prizes.

Decorations and merchandise are essential to making the most of an ennichi festival.

Japan's largest party goods store

Kishi's Party Store

Kishi's Party Store is a shop that stocks all the goods you need for festivals and fairs. Founded in 1946, Kishi's Co., Ltd. operates the store as a wholesale and retail store.

The main sellers are Hands, Balloon Shops, and vendors that set up stalls at festivals, and they offer a wide range of products, from balloons and toys to decorations.

Recently, the number of people using the facility for individual events has been increasing, and the proportion of individuals using the facility is also increasing.

In recent years, the number of foreigners living in Japan has increased, and due to inbound tourism, the number of foreign visitors has also increased.

Easy access

Another great feature is its easy access, just a 13-minute walk from Nagoya Station.

It is also close to tourist destinations that have been undergoing redevelopment in recent years, such as the Endoji Shopping Street and the Shikemichi area, so it is recommended to stop by on your way to Nagoya Castle.

What is actually being sold?

Kishi's Party Store is a specialty store that carries miscellaneous goods (such as masks and happi coats) that you can only see at festivals.

There is also demand for uniquely Japanese souvenirs, and the number of customers looking for toys, games, and miscellaneous goods is increasing.

Everything is sold at wholesale prices, so you can get things cheaper than you would at a regular party goods store. There are also English-speaking staff on staff, so even if you don't speak Japanese you can visit the store with peace of mind.

A thorough introduction to our selection of products!

Kishi's Party Store has a wide range of products in stock that rivals theirs.

We always have around 20,000 related products in stock, with some items unable to fit in the store.

Upon request, we can bring in products from a nearby warehouse, so even if you can't find what you're looking for in the store, don't give up and just ask the store staff.

Festival play

Yo-yo fishing and super bouncing ball scooping are common sights at festivals.

Did you know that this game actually has deep ties to Kishi's Party Store?

Yo-yo fishing

The company began wholesale sales of water yo-yos around the time it was founded in 1946. Currently, it mainly deals in products made by Suzuki Latex, which are approved by professionals.

Today, Kishi's has developed the original Water Yo-Yo and can be said to be the driving force behind modern festivals.

The actual product lineup for sale ranges from games that can be played by groups of over 100 people to games that can be enjoyed by individuals.

You can also try out some of the products in-store, so if you drop by, we recommend trying out the historic Water Yo-Yo.

Super Bouncing Ball Scooping

The origins of the Super Bouncing Ball scooping game are closely linked to Kishi's, dating back to the 1960s.

The Super Bouncing Ball became a huge hit in Japan the year after it became a hit in the United States in 1965.

At the time, cheap versions of toys were widely available due to their high prices and the limited availability of toys. Before Kishi's opened its toy store, it was known as Kishi Rubber Store, which sold cheap domestically produced super bouncing balls.

It is said that the origin of super bouncing ball scooping was when the company's founder, Tsuneo Kishi, was asked for advice and decided to float a super ball instead of a goldfish.

Since then, the super bouncing ball scooping game has become a big hit among children and an indispensable part of summer festivals. Various shapes of super bouncing balls have been developed to suit the times, including soft vinyl figures of goldfish, turtles, and ducks.

Currently, we not only stock domestically produced balls, but also actively purchase products from overseas manufacturers, providing a selection of high-quality super balls that Kishi's can trust.

Mask

It's no exaggeration to say that with Kishi's, there is no mask you can't find.

We have a wide range of products, from traditional Japanese fox and Hannya masks to character items.

Kishi's also has three promotional characters called Kishi MEN: Matsuri, Utage, and Chika.

This article also introduces some fun tips that will make your festivals and parties a little more fun, so be sure to check it out.

Japanese goods and characters

Kishi's is the only place where you can buy traditional Japanese toys.

Toys such as Kendama, Daruma Drop, and Hanetsuki (Japanese badminton-like game with a Hagoita paddle) can be played by yourself or with others, so they are also recommended as souvenirs.

There are also many other character goods available, which would make great little gifts.

balloon

One of Kishi's greatest attractions is the wide range of balloon brands they carry.

We sell balloons from all over the world, including Japanese-made balloons, at wholesale prices.

We have too many varieties to list here, and we also focus on content such as balloon seminars and balloon volleyball.

There are also many products that can be used to decorate for birthdays, celebrations, and events, so if you're having trouble decorating, we recommend stopping by the balloon corner.
