Why You Should Visit
A one-day indoor market in Shin-Nagata built around everyday life. Independent bookshops, galleries and small publishers from across Kansai bring books and craft goods, joined by a croissant specialist, a patisserie and a small-batch coffee roaster. There's a game corner with a shooting gallery, superball scooping and can-badge making, plus a stamp rally around three points in the building. Admission is free, and being indoors it runs rain or shine.
