Why You Should Visit
Twice a year — spring and autumn — the waterfront at Nakanoshima fills with makers, antique dealers and vintage clothing sellers. Recent editions have drawn roughly 90 to 130 stalls selling ceramics, jewellery, dried flowers, Nordic fabrics and old tools, plus bento, baked sweets and other food. This 18th edition spreads across three sites: Nakanoshima Park in front of the Central Public Hall, a live stage set up on Suishobashi bridge, and a food area between Osaka City Hall and the Nakanoshima Library. It is an easy riverside walk past some of the city's finest retro architecture.
