What to expect

The focus is yakiimo, Japanese roasted sweet potato, a popular autumn snack. Specific vendors and menus can change, so do not assume a particular variety or stall will be present.

Autumn illumination nearby

The Nakajima Park autumn foliage illumination is also scheduled for October 23–November 3, with lighting from 17:00 to 21:00 in designated park areas. A convenient plan is to visit the food event during the afternoon and stay for illuminated autumn leaves after sunset.

How to get there

Take the Namboku subway line to Nakajima-Koen Station and follow signs toward the park. Check the park map for Minami 9-jo Square. Wear comfortable shoes, especially after rain or when temperatures drop.

Visitor tips

  • Bring a payment method accepted by individual food stalls.
  • Dress for chilly autumn evenings.
  • Allow extra time on weekends.
