Creema's Marunouchi Street Market Returns in 2025

After a six-year break largely due to the pandemic, one of Japan's most beloved craft events, the "Marunouchi Street Market by Creema," is set to make its comeback. Scheduled for August 29 and 30, 2025, this delightful marketplace will be held at the Yasukuni-dori Subway underpass, situated in front of Tokyo Station. This year's event promises to bring a plethora of unique, handcrafted items directly from talented artisans across the country.

Originally launched in 2016, the Marunouchi Street Market has become a favorite among locals and tourists alike, showcasing the works of Creema's exceptional creators. In its ten previous events, attendees enjoyed the chance to engage directly with artisans, appreciating the craftsmanship behind the unique items on display. The last iteration took place in December 2019, but the demand for its return has led to this exciting renewal.

As attendees stroll through the market, they can expect to find 50 distinct exhibitors from regions like Hokkaido, Aichi, and Niigata. The offerings will range widely, showcasing an eclectic mix of products such as vintage bead jewelry, leather goods, beautifully crafted bags made from selected canvas materials, and exquisite glassware. Additionally, visitors can revel in a myriad of decorative items, art pieces, bonsai, and more.

The market will not only be a hub for shopping but also a space for creativity with a series of workshops. For example, participants can take part in creating original jewelry using the traditional Kintsugi technique, which fuses pottery fragments with gold, making each piece a unique representation of art and healing. Another workshop focuses on mixing natural essential oils to create personalized summer fragrances.

To further enhance the experience, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with creators, making the two-day gathering more than just a shopping event; it will be a celebration of creativity and community.

As a leading online marketplace for handmade goods, Creema continues to empower local creators and foster a new connection between artisans and consumers. With nearly 300,000 creators and a vast collection of over 20 million unique items, Creema strives to ensure that products are not lost in the crowd and that quality craftsmanship is accessible to all.

The Marunouchi Street Market by Creema represents a crucial part of Creema's mission to enrich Japan's craft culture while providing creators with an essential platform to showcase their talents.
