Why You Should Visit
A two-day gathering at UNBY GENERAL GOODS STORE SANDA, an outdoor shop on the shore of Aono Dam lake in Sanda. Admission is free: the UNBY AUTUMN MARCHE brings together sweets shops popular in Sanda and a local game-meat (gibier) booth, alongside a charity mochi-pounding session tied to the harvest moon. On September 20 only, a small number of advance slots open for DAY-CAMP BBQ, a hands-free barbecue set up under tents in the shop's courtyard. Easy to drop into just for the market, and a good excuse for a lakeside day out in autumn air.
