Why You Should Visit

A seafood festival gathering catches from across Japan — tuna, salmon, crab, oysters, sea urchin and salmon roe. Alongside kaisen-don rice bowls, regional dishes and fishermen's cooking, you'll find seafood ramen and seafood okonomiyaki. The concurrent "Fukushima Festival" serves kaisen-don made with Joban-mono — Fukushima-caught flounder and blackthroat seaperch — plus sweets built on local passion fruit and other specialty produce. A stage hosts live music, comedy and bingo, and there are inflatable play structures for kids, so you can spend the whole day on the plaza in view of the Tower of the Sun.

FAQ

How much is admission?

It is ¥500 including tax, free for elementary school children and under. Since the venue sits inside Expo '70 Commemorative Park, park entry and any food you buy are charged separately.

Can I pay without cash?

Alongside cash, the venue accepts electronic money, QR payments such as ICOCA and PayPay, and contactless credit cards.

Is it good for families with children?

Admission is free for elementary school children and under, and the inflatable play structures are a hit with kids. The bingo on the main stage is something families can join together.

Does the concurrent Fukushima Festival cost extra?

The Fukushima Festival runs at the same venue at the same time, so the Joban-mono seafood bowls and local-fruit sweets are covered by the same admission.
