Namba Soto Fes 2026｜10/31〜11/1 Access & Fees

Why You Should Visit

An urban outdoor festival that brings outdoor brands and shops from across Japan to the ground floor of Namba Parks, now in its fifth edition in 2026. Camping, fishing and trekking gear and apparel are laid out so you can handle them and talk directly with the makers. Workshops such as woodcraft and kimono upcycling, plus hands-on corners like a Miyazaki dried shiitake fill-a-bag, make it easy for kids and adults alike. A good stop if you are getting into camping or want to compare gear in person before buying.
