Background
First held in 2013 and organized by Tokai TV and the Chunichi Shimbun, the market reached its 11th edition in 2025. That year ran 21 days, its longest yet, and added Angel Plaza alongside EDION Hisaya Plaza. It is supported by Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya City, the German National Tourist Office and the German Consulate General.
