Why You Should Visit

An autumn showcase-and-sale of Sakai's food and craftsmanship, organised every year by the Sakai Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Held at the Sakai City Industrial Promotion Center next to Nakamozu Station, it has four zones: a gourmet plaza of local eateries, a 'hidden gems' market of Sakai-made products such as forged knives, kombu and soy sauce, a sweets festa of popular local patisseries and wagashi shops, and a hands-on workshop area for kids and adults. Side attractions include knife re-sharpening by traditional craftsmen, an incense-making workshop from the Sakai Incense Festival, and displays of post, Self-Defense Force and police vehicles, making it an easy full-day outing for families.

FAQ

Is it held in the rain?

Yes, it goes ahead rain or shine. The main venue is the indoor event hall; only the outdoor police-vehicle display is cancelled in rain.

Can anyone get a knife sharpened?

Household knives only, 1,500 yen each. Limited to the first 100 knives each day and 2 per person, so bring them early.

Is it good for children?

Yes. The workshop area has activities from ages 2 or 4, plus incense-making, a stamp rally for elementary-school age and under, and post, Self-Defense Force and police vehicle displays.

Is there parking?

The center has a car park but spaces are limited and may be full at busy times. It is about 5 minutes on foot from Nakamozu Station, so the train is the safer option.
