Why You Should Visit

A hands-on event built around knowing, trying and enjoying, filling the second-floor atrium of Osaka Bay Tower, directly connected to Benten-cho Station, with booths for crafts, art, food and games. This edition is a collaboration with Pokemon UNITE, and the gaming area includes a session where pro gamers share how they play. Elsewhere the focus is on making things with your hands: flower arranging, carving chopsticks, screen-printing a T-shirt, building a leather coin case and making crepes. Entry is free, and there are inflatables and a food corner. It is indoors, so the weather does not matter.

FAQ

Is there an entry fee?
Entry is free. Some activity booths charge. Screen printing is free if you bring your own T-shirt, or 500 yen if you use one provided.
Can I play Pokemon UNITE without my own console?

Can small children take part?
Most activities are designed to be done together by a parent and child. Age guidance and capacity differ by booth, so check at each one on the day. There are also inflatables and a food corner.
Does it go ahead in the rain?
Yes. It is held indoors in the second-floor atrium of Osaka Bay Tower, so the weather makes no difference. It is right outside the central north exit of Benten-cho Station.
