A new marche event, "Gokigensan-ten" (ごきげんさん展), will be held for the first time on Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18, 2026, at Stage Felissimo (Felissimo's headquarters) in Kobe.
The event is organized by the editorial teams of two media outlets run by Felissimo: "Konogoro" (このごろ), aimed at working adults in their 20s, and "Arekara" (あれから), aimed at people around 30. Built on the wish to "deliver gokigen" (ごきげん, roughly "good spirits"), the event aims to offer "one more spoonful of gokigen" (もうひとさじ分のごきげん), a heartwarming feeling that leaves visitors thinking "Today was a good day" or "Tomorrow is somehow going to be fun."
Booths from readers of both media outlets and active creators will sell goods, books, art, baked sweets, and more. The venue also offers participatory content for rediscovering and sharing the "seeds of gokigen" (ごきげんのたね) in everyday life, as well as an essay exhibition. Through time spent facing what you love and meeting new people, the two days are designed to help everyone become a "Gokigen-san" (ごきげんさん).
Three Highlights
1. Participatory content to find your own and others' "gokigen"
Many programs let visitors share "gokigen" together. In the "Gokigen Exchange" (ごきげん交換所), visitors rediscover and share the "seeds of gokigen" in their own or someone else's daily life. The "Gokigen Buffet" (ごきげんビュッフェ) displays mini essays collected in advance.
2. An experience-based event by two generation-focused media outlets
"Konogoro," for working adults in their 20s, and "Arekara," for people around 30, are at the center of this collaboration, which grew out of their shared wish to "deliver one more spoonful of gokigen." Rather than simply buying and selling, the event is sprinkled with touches that gently warm the heart.
3. 20 or more exhibitors and creators in their 20s and 30s
Exhibitors were recruited from the readers of both media outlets in their 20s and 30s and from active creators. One-third of them are exhibiting for the first time at this event, so visitors can also meet new talent to watch in the years ahead.
What's on at the Event
Gokigen Exchange (ごきげん交換所) — both days, free
A participatory program in which visitors rediscover and share the "seeds of gokigen" in their own or someone else's daily life through three experiences: "thinking," "meeting," and "sharing." A warm circle of gokigen spreads across the whole venue.
Gokigen Buffet (ごきげんビュッフェ) — both days, free
A display of mini essays collected in advance on the theme "my own gokigen idea." The works on display make their debut at this event. Just as you would place a favorite dish on a tray, visitors can pick the ideas that catch their eye and take them home in their hearts.
Gokigen Ikaga Cafe (ごきげんいかがカフェ) — both days, paid
Limited-edition menu items are planned in a collaboration between "f winery" (エフワイナリー), a winery very close to the venue, and "Gokigensan-ten."
