## Impact on [Sector / Related Tickers]
Koshigaya City in Saitama Prefecture, located approximately 30 minutes from Tokyo, is set to launch its first "EDO Nigiwai Market — Koshigaya Vegetables and Traditional Crafts Experience Market" on November 15. The event will be held at AEON LakeTown OUTLET and is planned to occur roughly every three months, featuring seasonal offerings and cultural demonstrations.
A pre-event is scheduled for September 27, intended to gather feedback and refine operational strategies before the main launch. The market's theme, "Koshigaya — A Town That Helped Sustain Edo," highlights the city's historical role as a post town during the Edo period (1603-1868) and its continued agricultural and artisanal traditions. Organizers, ROJICOYA, aim to position the market as a cultural gateway for both domestic and international visitors.

regional tourism
