Why You Should Visit

A small creators market held along the approach to Rokko Hachiman Shrine in Nada. Now in its fourth edition, it runs over two days, September 26 (Sat) and 27 (Sun), 2026. Makers bring what they craft themselves: kohiki and hakeme pottery, jewelry, wooden goods, handmade wooden clogs, secondhand books, baked sweets and traditional Japanese confections. The venue is a tree-lined shrine approach, yet it sits right outside the south exit of Hankyu Rokko Station. Admission is free, so you can simply walk the grounds and browse. Organizers ask visitors to come by public transport to ease congestion in the neighborhood.
