Why You Should Visit
Coffee roasters, bakeries and baked-goods shops from Akashi and the Kobe area gather for two days at Piole Plaza, in the West Building of Piole Akashi right by JR Akashi Station. Look for local roasters such as Navy Coffee Roaster and GASSE coffee & botanics, pouring cups to drink on the spot and selling beans to take home, alongside bread and baked treats to pair with them. The line-up changes partly between the 17th and the 18th. Being right at the station, it's an easy stop on a shopping trip or between trains.
