The shrine in Sakura School Simulator can turn into a Japanese summer festival. Lanterns light up, food stalls line the far side of the bridge, and players can buy shaved ice, candied apples, and fireworks to set off at the beach.
This festival mode rarely gets attention, yet it has everything you need for date scenes, outings with friends, or summer night roleplay. Many players also do not realize the festival has to be switched on manually.
The stall list, menus, and prices below come from the community-run Sakura School Simulator wiki on Fandom. Prices are in the game's yen and may change after updates. The scene ideas at the end are our own suggestions.
Quick answer: To start the shrine festival in Sakura School Simulator, use the green circle at the shrine and pick the festival decoration. Eleven stalls then open across the bridge. Shaved ice, chocolate bananas, candied apples, cotton candy, yakisoba, yakitori, and grilled corn mostly cost ¥300, while okonomiyaki, grilled squid, frankfurters, and beef skewers cost ¥400. Balloons and masks cost ¥400, and beach fireworks cost ¥1,500.How to Start the Festival at the Shrine
The festival does not run on its own. Head to the shrine near the beach, Nakayoshi Park, and the Hair SAKURA salon, then find the green circle in the shrine area. It controls the shrine decorations, with two choices: New Year and festival.
Pick the festival option. Red-and-white lanterns go up, a mikoshi appears in the courtyard, and eleven stalls open on the other side of a small bridge, staffed by extra vendors.
Before you set off, use the pink circle at the shrine to change clothes. A casual outfit or traditional clothing makes festival photos look much better.
Food Stalls and Prices
Most of the stalls sell food and drinks. The table below lists each vendor, menu, and price according to the community wiki. Chocolate versions of savory food, such as chocolate yakisoba and chocolate grilled squid, are one of the game's playful touches.
Shaved ice comes in six flavors, including wasabi, which makes a good dare between friends. Cotton candy has seven flavors, the most of any stall.

Balloons, Masks, and Fireworks
The stall run by Nonomura Minoru sells non-food items. There are eight balloon shapes at ¥400 each: dog, chicken, panda, rabbit, plain, heart, peach, and sunflower.
Masks come in five styles, also ¥400 each: fox, tengu, hyottoko, otafuku, and a horror mask. The fox mask suits mysterious scenes, while the horror mask is great for jump scares in a crowd.
The most expensive item at the festival is the beach fireworks at ¥1,500. The beach is close to the shrine, so you can buy snacks and then watch the fireworks in a single trip.
The wiki also points out a small detail about the vendors. Three of the four Kotobuki brothers, Sanpei, Jihei, and Ippei, sell food linked to their everyday businesses of takoyaki, eel, and sushi. The other vendors sell food unrelated to their usual jobs.
The Mikoshi and the Bon Dance Tower
A mikoshi is a portable shrine used in Japanese festivals to carry a deity. In Sakura School Simulator, it appears only while the shrine festival is active and works as a backdrop for parade scenes with NPCs.
The Bon dance tower stands in Nakayoshi Park and has a drum that players can play. Interacting beside the tower shows the dance, so players and NPCs can circle it just like Bon Odori in Japan.
Festival Scene Ideas for Roleplay
The shrine festival fits many kinds of stories. Here are a few setups we suggest.
Festival date: change outfits at the pink circle, buy two candied apples, walk together under the lanterns, and finish with fireworks at the beach. It pairs well with the game's existing dating features.
Snack challenge: give three friends ¥1,500 each and see who can buy the most items. Wasabi shaved ice makes a fitting penalty for the loser.
Horror festival: wear the horror and fox masks and pop up between the stalls at night. For a longer story, move to the shrine and bring in the Cat God in the main hall.
