Why You Should Visit
A six-day outdoor food event bringing Hokkaido's seafood, meat and sweets to Meriken Park on the waterfront. Menus come from across Hokkaido — famous names, long-loved local favourites and quiet gems alike. Beyond the food, the organizers are planning set pieces evoking Hokkaido's landscapes and culture, photo spots, and a tourism-information corner, along with a marché, festival game stalls, workshops and stage events. Admission is free, so you can graze your way through six autumn days with the harbour in view.
