Ideas for Instagram-worthy moments at a high school culture festival: crowd-pleasing photo spots (51–60)
Retro signs and posters
We often hear the terms “Showa retro” and “Heisei retro,” and along with that, retro signs and nostalgic townscapes have become a trend because they look great in photos.
You often see people taking pictures against retro backdrops and posting them on social media.
How about creating a retro-style background yourself and turning it into a photo spot? Preparing actual signs can be tough, so try collecting posters and crafting a suitable backdrop by painting it.
These days, there are plenty of tutorial videos on paints and techniques to achieve a shabby-chic finish, so be sure to use them for inspiration!
bamboo basket
If you want to create a distinctly Japanese atmosphere, how about hanging bamboo baskets from the walls or ceiling? Some people might think, “Bamboo baskets feel like old-fashioned household items and aren’t stylish,” but these days you’ll sometimes see cafés and Japanese restaurants displaying them in chic ways.
You can hang just one as a striking accent, or arrange several in a tasteful lineup.
Also, placing a light inside a bamboo basket to play with light and shadow can make the space feel even more striking and refined.
Flower
How about setting up a flower-themed photo spot that will literally add a touch of glamour to your pictures? For example, you could prepare a large floral wreath, decorate an entire wall with flowers, or create a heart motif from blooms.
The vibe changes dramatically depending on whether you go colorful or stick to a single hue.
As a plus, it’s also nice to provide handheld flowers or wreaths as props.
It could be fun to base the design on the meanings of flowers, too.
Dragon Ball
How about setting up a photo spot that recreates the world of Dragon Ball, one of Japan’s most iconic manga and anime? The key is which scene you choose to capture—using moments that convey power and dynamism will be easy for visitors to grasp.
Let people step into the world through photos of scenes like unleashing a powerful technique or freely flying through the sky, so they can experience what the characters feel.
Memorable scenes often come with memorable lines, so including the dialogue alongside the artwork could further enhance the sense of the series’ world.
Instagram-worthy ideas for a high school culture festival. Popular photo spots (61–70)
candy bouquet
When you think of a bouquet, you usually think of flowers, but here’s a fun, two-birds-with-one-stone idea: make one out of sweets so it looks delightful and fills your tummy! Using longer treats adds dimension.
If you want to showcase smaller items, use bamboo skewers or similar to arrange them so they stand out.
It’s perfect for Instagram and would make a great prize for a school festival booth that kids and adults alike will love.
Be sure to choose candies with colorful packaging!
Rainbow crepe
When it comes to crepes, they’re a popular item at school festivals, aren’t they? Among all kinds of crepes, this rainbow crepe is especially Instagrammable.
In this video, they cook colored crepe batter directly on the hotplate as bold, design-focused elements and then use those as toppings.
It’s simple, and in terms of visual impact, it’s unbeatable.
If you sold crepes like these, wouldn’t lots of people want to post them on Instagram?
Waffle bar
As the name suggests, a waffle with a stick like an ice cream bar is a “waffle bar.” It’s an award-worthy idea of a sweet that lets you eat a waffle without getting your hands dirty.
One of the appeals of these waffle bars is that you can enjoy all sorts of decorations—chocolate sauce, whipped cream, almond chips, and more.
Line up a few with colorful looks, and you’ve got an Instagrammable scene! You can almost picture buyers raising their phones to snap a shot.
The more color variations, the better.
