Held once a month in Shimizu, Kita-ku!

The "Kinjo Market" is located in Shimizu, Kita-ku. The monthly "Kinjo Night Market" is held here.

The "Kinjyo Yoichi" is a brand new event that has just started in 2024. Visitors can enjoy a fun night market filled with popular and talked-about stores and interesting events that change monthly according to the theme of the market.

Key visual for the May 2024 event (theme: Health)

The themes held so far have been completely different concepts, such as "fashion show," "cherry blossom viewing," and "health". What will next month's theme be? We are excited to wait for the announcement of next month's theme!

The fashionable key visuals are also noteworthy.

The venue, Kinjo Market, is a fresh food market that opened in 1955. In the beginning, the market was so popular and crowded with people that it was affectionately known as "the kitchen of the city," but as times have changed, the number of people and the number of stores have drastically decreased.

Then, Takao and Yasuko Odai of "AKIYA LOOK BOOK" became the owners of the market and started a revitalization project. After three years of renovation work, the market was reborn with a new look.

The newly renovated market, which retains the atmosphere of the old days, is filled with a mysterious charm that is both nostalgic and new.

Why don't you spend a pleasant time at the "Kinjyo Yoichi" filled with a downtown atmosphere? You will surely enjoy a special night market with a difference.
