The Difference Between “Bar” and “Marché”
Just in case, here’s the difference between the bar and marché parts of Koshienguchi Bar.
Bar
The bar refers to restaurants and eateries 🍔.
The main price range for menu items is 500 yen (one coin) or 1,000 yen. (Some items may be priced differently.)
Marché
The marché refers to retail shops 🛒, service shops, and takeaway food shops.
Unlike the bar section, it is not a one-coin system, but items and services are offered at special prices 🉐 different from the regular prices.
No Tickets Needed, So It’s Easy to Drop By
At Koshienguchi Bar, no tickets are required.
Just go into a shop and say, “I’d like the bar menu, please,” and you’re good to go. Super easy 👍

Shachomi Went Last Year Too
A lot of people may be wondering, “What’s the bar atmosphere like?”, so here’s a quick report from when we went in 2023.
This is around the southwest side of Koshienguchi Station. Lots of people were walking around town with bar maps in hand, wondering, “Which shop should we try?”
Now for our first stop. Let’s try the okonomiyaki restaurant “てんてこ.” Of course, they’re participating in the bar event again this year.
てんてこ was completely full the whole time. It’s actually an incredibly popular shop at the bar event every year! Look at all those eggs!
