Pan to Ongaku to Antique: Bread, Music and Antiques in Chofu

Pan to Ongaku to Antique (パンと音楽とアンティーク) literally means bread, music and antiques, and the name sums the festival up well. The 2026 autumn edition runs over two days at Tokyo Oval Keiokaku (東京オーヴァル京王閣), a keirin cycling track in Chofu, Tokyo. Below you’ll find the dates, ticket prices, how to get there, and a few simple ways to keep the day affordable.

What kind of event is it?

The festival first ran in 2022, and this autumn is its sixth edition. It’s built for browsing rather than a fixed shopping list. You wander between stalls, catch a live set, try bread from a bakery you didn’t know, and maybe leave with a vintage piece you weren’t looking for.

Around 400 vendors are expected, spread across these categories:

Getting there and the weather

The train is the easiest way in. The venue is about a minute’s walk from Keio Tamagawa Station on the Keio Line, so once you’re on the right line there’s no bus or taxi to worry about. The address is 4-31-1 Tamagawa, Chofu, Tokyo.

The festival runs from 10:00 to 18:00, which leaves plenty of time to split the day between the market and the stages. It goes ahead rain or shine, so if rain is forecast, dress for it and check the official site closer to the day in case anything changes.

Tickets and how to save

Children of elementary school age and younger get in free, so younger kids don’t need a ticket.

Buying in advance takes ¥500 off each ticket, which is about 23% less than the price on the day. Two adults going together save ¥1,000.

The bread area: around 90 bakeries

Around 90 of the vendors are bakeries, and they come from all over Japan. The range goes from staples like baguettes and pain de campagne to sandwiches and sweeter, pastry-style bakes.

The part worth planning for is the event-only lineup. Some bakeries prepare breads or special menus just for this festival, so if there’s one you really want to try, make it your first stop and explore the rest afterwards.

Antiques, vintage and handmade finds

The market leans towards antiques from Europe, alongside vintage homeware, secondhand clothing and furniture. Most pieces are one of a kind, so if something catches your eye, it’s worth deciding on the spot. For larger items, think about how you’ll get them home before you buy.

The craft stalls cover accessories, tableware and plants, and you can talk directly with the people who made them. Ask how a piece was made or how to look after a plant, and you’ll leave knowing more than a product label would tell you.

Live music on five stages

Live music runs across five stages of different sizes. Artists on the bill include:

• Yuta Orisaka (折坂悠太)
• Maki Nomiya with Tetsuro Yafune (野宮真貴with矢舟テツロー)
• Yuko Ando (安藤裕子)
• Tabito Nanao (七尾旅人)
• Hiroshi Takano MVF solo (高野寛 MVF solo)
• Hideki Kaji (カジヒデキ)
• Afro (アフロ)
• Sonoko Inoue (井上園子)
• Nao Matsuzaki (松崎ナオ)
• Kenta Maeno (前野健太)

That’s only part of the lineup, and the performers are different on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September. If you’re going mainly for one artist, check which day they play on the official timetable before you choose your date.

Tips for a smooth visit

1. Pick your day by the lineup. The artists differ between the two days, so look at the timetable first.
2. Get an advance ticket if you still can. It’s ¥500 cheaper per person. Check the official page for where to buy and until when.
3. Take the Keio Line. Get off at Keio Tamagawa Station and you’re about a minute from the venue.
4. Plan for the weather. The festival goes ahead rain or shine.
5. Leave room in your bag. With around 90 bakeries and plenty of vintage and craft stalls, it’s easy to go home with more than you planned.
6. Confirm the rest on the official site. Things like payment options and re-entry aren’t covered in the information we checked, so look them up before you go if they matter to you.

Making a weekend of it

If you’re turning the festival into a full day out, a public bath is an easy way to wind down afterwards. Our guide to the Tokyo sento half-price coupon explains how to get cheaper entry at participating bathhouses.

Coming from outside the Tokyo area? Check whether a rail deal fits your dates, such as the discounted Tokudane Special 28 Shinkansen fares or the Aki no Norihodai Pass for JR local trains. If you come by train, your final stop is still Keio Tamagawa Station on the Keio Line.

And if you’d like your everyday spending to give something back, our beginner’s guide to point sites in Japan shows how to earn points on purchases you’d make anyway.
