Why You Should Visit
A night marche to enjoy with your dog, set against the illuminated Ferris wheel at Kobe Mosaic. Around 70 distinctive shops from across Japan — from Kanto to Kyushu — gather with dog treats, care products and glow-in-the-dark goods, alongside food trucks. Held over two evenings on the waterfront once the heat eases, it's a relaxed outing for you and your dog. Admission is free, and you can take in the harbour night view while you shop and eat — a good option for a summer outing with your pet.
