Why You Should Visit

A one-day drone showcase on Port Island, run by a Hyogo platform that promotes practical uses of drones. At seaside Shiosai Park, four live sessions show a drone pressure-washing a wall, a speaker drone broadcasting announcements from the air, and a drone port operated remotely with live video. Next door, the Event Park at Kobe Gakuin University hosts 10 booths where you can pilot an underwater drone, try drone soccer, see the large FlyCart30 cargo drone, and check out inspection drones and 3D digital archiving. The university's campus festival and Kobe City's new-mobility test rides take place the same day.
