2026 Kobe, City of Film: Poster Exhibition

Why You Should Visit

Kobe marks 130 years since film was first screened here, and this show gathers the posters. Around 15 titles shot in Kobe since the Kobe Film Office opened in 2000, displayed alongside stories from the shoots and related items. It sits in the cafe on the second floor of GLION ARENA KOBE — a one-coffee-sized exhibition with the sea outside the window. Knowing which corners of the city made it on screen changes the walk home.
