Why You Should Visit
Three events overlap on one evening in the old town of Hojo in Kasai. Around Honcho-dori, Hojo Machi Bar brings out restaurants from across the city with music alongside; around Otabicho-dori, Hojo Conne lines up food trucks, baked goods, craft stalls and hands-on booths. A live set plays on the bridge in the car park of Aeon Mall Kasai Hojo. You walk the old streets and eat and drink your way around.
