Why You Should Visit
One of Kansai's largest handmade-craft fairs, drawing makers from across Japan. Over 20,000 one-of-a-kind items span accessories, interior goods and fashion through to baked sweets, wagashi and seasonings — around 1,000 booths across the two days. The draw is choosing pieces while talking directly with their makers, and hands-on workshops let you try making flower goods or accessories. Held indoors at the Kobe International Exhibition Hall, so weather is never a worry.
