Traveler note
German-style wooden stalls and a seasonal Christmas setting in Nishikicho Park. Tickets for the eight paid dates went on sale at 10:00 JST on 4 November 2026 through Lawson Ticket. Each ticket is for an entry slot chosen when booking and is valid for two hours from the slot's start, with re-entry allowed within those two hours; one application covers up to ten tickets. The organiser warns that you may not get in if your slot sells out. We have not checked how many tickets remain, and the organiser's notice does not say whether any are sold at the gate. The official 2026 mug design is published and is available only while stocks last. Shop, stage and workshop details remain to be announced; check the official programme before planning a particular activity. Hours differ by weekday and entry is not free on all dates. The May 2009 park photograph is an archive view of the venue, not the 2026 market stalls or Christmas decorations.
