The "Kamigyo Kyoto Confectionery Market" will be held on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the [Former Matake Elementary School] (Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture). This wagashi market will feature 23 participating vendors, primarily from Kamigyo’s local wagashi shops, along with booths selling tableware and coffee that pairs well with wagashi. From classic treats like yōkan and daifuku to seasonal dried sweets and fresh confections, the diverse lineup showcases each shop’s unique character, creating an irresistible experience for wagashi lovers. In addition to the sales booths, there will be interactive booths where visitors can learn about wagashi through fun activities, offering a chance to experience the charm of these sweets from various perspectives. Using wagashi as a gateway, this event may serve as an opportunity to explore the history and culture of Kamigyo—and the broader world of Japanese culture that lies beyond. Come visit and look forward to discovering wagashi you can only find here.
