Amuser Festa at Kitano-cho Square Vol.3 2026

Why You Should Visit

An autumn open-air live stage at Kitano-cho Square, right in front of the Weathercock House in Kobe's Kitano Ijinkan district. From 11:00 to 16:00, six acts — idol groups, acoustic acts and music units — take turns every 45 minutes. It's free to watch, so you can simply stop by while touring the old foreign residences. Backed by Kobe City and its Board of Education, this is the third Kitano-cho edition of Amuser Festa, a stage series that also travels to Akashi, Kakogawa and Amagasaki.
