The "5th Kaminoyama Wachawacha Market" is a market event held with the spirit of traditional free markets (rakuichi), taking advantage of the location around Kaminoyama Castle and its castle town.

Items made with beautiful decorative paper from overseas and new products not yet sold on e-commerce sites are scheduled to be unveiled. Visitors can enjoy goods and experiences from various vendors while soaking in the atmosphere of Kaminoyama Castle. The venue utilizes the Kaminoyama Castle Multipurpose Hall (indoor) and the Plaza in front of the Main Gate (outdoor). Admission is free.
