Why You Should Visit
A one-day festival of jazz, Banshu sake, local food and sweets, held on October 31 in Exhibition Hall A and the outdoor Nigiwai Plaza at Acrie Himeji, a short walk from Himeji Station. Listen to jazz while sampling Harima-region sake and local dishes. The same afternoon, pianists Makoto Ozone and Kento Tsubosaka play the Middle Hall at 15:00 (separate ticket), and the Himeji Bungu Haku stationery fair runs in Halls B and C, so it is easy to spend half a day around the venue.
