Akichi de Night 2026｜10/23(Fri) Access & Fees

Why You Should Visit

A Friday-evening gathering at Ekimae Akichi, the open lawn space right by Flower Town Station in Sanda. Food trucks and drinks set up on the grass, alongside fair-style games and workshops, so it works both for adults stopping by after work and for families making dinner an outing. Ekimae Akichi has been run since November 2024 as a social experiment by Sanda City and a local development company.
