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.
