Why You Should Visit

An annual Halloween bar-hopping event around JR Nishi-Akashi Station. Buy a strip of five tickets and use one per restaurant for a festival dish and a drink. This year 43 places take part, from izakaya, sushi and Italian to Korean, cafés and bars, with some open from midday and others until late at night. A good excuse to try places you've never walked into, or simply to hop around the station area for an evening.
