Held from June 14th to 16th, the historic Enma Market in Niigata's Kashiwazaki area draws more than 200,000 visitors each year. Centered around Enma-do Temple on Honmachi Street, the lively event features nearly 500 stalls stretching for several kilometers, offering everything from local street food to games, plants, and traditional crafts.
This long-running tradition traces its roots back over 200 years to the Bunsei era (1818–1830), when it began as a horse market. Over time, the event grew into a bustling street fair and eventually evolved into the vibrant celebration it is today. Bring yen if you plan on making any purchases!
