Why You Should Visit

Once a year, 25 disability welfare providers from across Akashi gather at Akashi Citizens' Plaza, right by Akashi Station. At each booth you can hear how a service works or ask for advice, and there are baked goods and handmade crafts made at the workshops for sale. The point is being able to compare employment support, day care, group homes and more in one room, rather than contacting them one by one. Entry is free with no sign-up, and you can come and go as you like, so it is easy to drop in while shopping near the station. For students or career-changers curious about welfare work, it is a chance to talk directly with people in the field.

Essentials

There are 6 car parks within a 12-minute walk of Akashi Citizens' Plaza (Papios Akashi, 2F), and 2 public restrooms within 8 minutes. The map shows each with its walking time.

Facility data comes from OpenStreetMap. It does not include opening hours, fees or availability.

TICKETS / REGISTRATION
