WHATAWON (Watawan), an entertainment mall located in Kishiwada, Osaka, successfully concluded its 'Disco Festival' held for two days on June 6 and 7, 2026.

The venue, 'Floor Disco Ball,' was transformed into a special festival space just for this occasion.

Within the enchanting space illuminated by sparkling disco balls, children were engrossed in treasure hunting, while families challenged themselves with glowing festival games. The venue was filled with smiles and cheers, making it two days of extraordinary experiences unique to WHATAWON.

A 'New Festival' Adorned with Disco Balls and Neon

When one thinks of a typical festival, many might picture a summer festival held outdoors.

For this 'Disco Festival,' a giant disco space was used as the stage, combining neon lights, lantern decorations, and light effects to create an unprecedented festival atmosphere.

Colorful lights spread throughout the venue, creating a photogenic world that was enjoyable just to walk through.

Families and children who visited moved through the venue as if exploring theme park attractions.

Another characteristic unique to WHATAWON was that many visitors participated with their beloved dogs.

The neon-lit venue also saw visitors enjoying photo opportunities with their dogs, making it a place to create special memories with their canine family members.

'Found It!' Children Engrossed in the Glowing Gem Hunt

One of the most popular attractions was the treasure hunt content, where participants searched for glowing gems hidden throughout the venue.

The children's expressions were serious as they searched for gems while walking through the neon-lit space.

Upon finding a gem, shouts of 'Found it!' echoed, and everyone enjoyed the treasure hunt in their own style, whether searching with parents or cooperating with siblings.

The joy of 'finding it yourself' that cannot be experienced with game consoles or smartphones was born everywhere in the venue.

Glowing Super Ball Scooping, Ring Toss, and Senbonhiki Also Popular

The venue also featured a game corner where classic festival attractions were adapted for the 'Disco Festival' theme.

In the super ball scooping game, which glowed magically with LED lighting, children earnestly tried to scoop the colorful, luminous balls.

The ring toss game saw families cheering each other on, and the Senbonhiki corner was filled with the excitement of pulling a string, wondering 'What will I win?'

All the attractions were well-received not just as games but also as experiential photo spots that made visitors want to take pictures.
