About this event

Held on the riverbed of the Oto River flowing beneath Okazaki Castle, this night market is a signature evening feature of Okazaki that can be enjoyed by both adults and children. Stalls offer one-of-a-kind miscellaneous goods available only here, as well as nostalgic game stalls for kids to play, making it ideal for cooling off on weekend evenings. Food trucks and craft markets line up from dusk into the night, and the illuminated venue bustles with people enjoying music and food. You can experience a pleasant 'evening town walk' where the history of Okazaki Castle town meets the riverside breeze. Creating an enchanting atmosphere, live music performances are held on certain days, and visitors can also enjoy the event with a picnic feel. Many people visit wearing yukata in the summer, making it popular as a photo spot. It is an attractive event offering diverse ways to spend time for families, couples, and solo visitors alike.
