Pasona Group is set to host a unique event called the 'Regional Creation Marche' from May 9 to May 15, 2025, at Annex Aoyama in Tokyo's Minami Aoyama district. This special market will feature local products from Awaji Island and Kyoto, offered at discounted prices as a gesture of gratitude to the local community.
The Marche will showcase a variety of regional specialties, including the famous 'New Tama Onion' from Awaji Island and a selection of self-made bacon from Kyoto. Shoppers can expect to find these items at exclusive prices, making it an excellent opportunity to discover the flavors and products of these regions.
In addition to the product offerings, the event will feature a booth dedicated to the PASONA NATUREVERSE pavilion, which Pasona Group will present at the upcoming Osaka-Kansai Expo. This booth will not only provide the latest updates about the pavilion but also sell limited edition merchandise.
As part of the festivities, attendees can participate in a 'Bisque Painting Experience' hosted by Nijigen no Mori, an anime park located on Awaji Island. This hands-on activity allows participants to paint bisque figures of popular characters, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that they can take home. The figures featured include beloved characters from various franchises such as 'Dragon Quest Island,' 'Godzilla,' and 'Monster Hunter.'
The Bisque Painting Experience will take place on May 9 and 10, 2025. During this event, participants will have the chance to paint figures of Slime and Drakky from 'Dragon Quest,' Godzilla and Mosura from 'Godzilla Interception Operation,' and Ailu from 'Monster Hunter.' The experience is designed to be family-friendly, allowing attendees to enjoy a creative outing with friends or family.
Each painting session lasts approximately 30 minutes, providing ample time for participants to unleash their creativity. The costs for the figures vary, with prices set at 1,800 yen for Slime, 2,000 yen for Drakky, Godzilla, and Ailu, and 3,000 yen for Mosura, all prices inclusive of tax.
Moreover, the Pasona Agri-Support Team will offer a sustainable herb planting experience during the event, which will take place on May 12 and 13. This initiative promotes eco-friendly practices by using recycled plastic pots and locally sourced compost from Awaji Island.
On May 13 and 14, the event will also include an Old Sake Seminar, where participants can learn about the history and charm of aged sake while enjoying pairings with various types of long-aged sake, shochu, and plum wine.
The 'Regional Creation Marche' aims to not only provide a platform for regional products but also to foster a sense of community and gratitude towards the local populace. Pasona Group hopes to highlight the unique offerings of Awaji Island and Kyoto, encouraging attendees to engage with and appreciate these local treasures.
Event details are as follows: The Marche runs from May 9 to May 15, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with a break on May 11. It will be held in front of PASONA SQUARE at Annex Aoyama, located at 3-1-26 Minami Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
