Why You Should Visit
A market held in a former auto repair shop, Kuriyama Motors, just south of JR Hoden Station in Kakogawa. The organizer reopened the garage his grandfather ran for about 70 years as a place for people to gather, and the market has been held there since March 2026. The fourth edition is themed "Harvest". Eleven food and drink stalls serve Sri Lankan curry, fermented soup and rice-flour sweets, alongside 13 stalls for jewelry, indigo dyeing, wood carving, acupuncture and massage. A talk and live show starts indoors at 2 pm, and there is mochi pounding too.
