Venue : Fumotto Minami-Alps, Yamanashi When : Jul 18th - Aug 31st 2025, 4:00pm - 9:00pm

This summer, Yamanashi is welcoming the Fumotto Night Market, set to run daily from mid-July until the end of August. The event location is convenient (right next to the Costco Minami-Alps Warehouse!) and aims to spark regional revitalization by transforming summer nights into a celebration of local culture, food, and community.

The venue will be adorned with 2,000 lanterns and neon signs, where visitors can enjoy a wide array of attractions including gourmet food made from local ingredients, a wine and beer bar, craft and antique vendors, and farm-fresh produce. Traditional Japanese summer festivities will also be featured, such as Bon Odori dancing, fireworks, children’s games, and nightly stage performances.

A highlight of the event is set to be the Night Pool, offering a dreamy, illuminated swimming experience that’s sure to become a core summer memory for families and couples alike.
