Why You Should Visit
"LOHAS MEETS" began at Akashi Park in 2012 with around 80 handmade-goods stalls and has grown into a popular market that now tops 300 stalls at some editions; this is its evening version, held in Akashi. On the west lawn you'll find handmade booths for accessories and gardening alongside kitchen cars and food stalls, plus a stage featuring hula and kids' dance groups. Running from late afternoon into the night, it's a summer-evening market where adults and children alike can relax on the cooler grass.
