Why You Should Visit
Held every October by Hyogo Prefecture, this festival gathers the whole prefecture's farm, forest and sea produce in one place. About 90 exhibitors, from farmers and food companies to agricultural high schools and universities, line the Senjoshiba lawn in Akashi Park, selling new-crop Ko-no-ho-shi rice, black edamame, Kasumi crab, Akashi sea bream and conger eel, and Awaji Island wine. The Hyogo Certified Food Festival 2026 and the 4th Hyogo Rich Sea Promotion Rally run alongside. Hands-on booths for seed planting, woodcraft and a fish touch pool make it a good family day out for autumn shopping. Entry is free.
