Why You Should Visit
AEON MALL Kobe Minami in Nakanoshima, Hyogo Ward, celebrates its 9th anniversary with a 12-day festival. A Vissel Kobe special exhibit runs the whole time, and free events fill the weekends: a Kobe Kiyomori-tai stage show on Oct 10, urban sports (skateboard, BMX) and a local history talk on Oct 11, giant chalk art and a violin concert on Oct 12, and a comedy show with Joyman on Oct 17. Being indoors, it works well for families on a rainy day.
