Why You Should Visit
A seaside spinoff of Futatabi Marche, the market usually held at Futatabi Park up on Mt. Rokko. This time it comes down to ONE HEART BIRTH, the plaza on the north side of Kobe Port Tower, for four evening hours of food trucks, pesticide-free vegetables, and a twilight concert. Together with students from Kobe Shinwa University, visitors join a hands-on mission to shape a Port Tower out of folded paper cranes. Enjoy food, music, and making things in the harbor at dusk, with the Kobe Port weekend fireworks visible from the venue the same night — a nice stop for an August 1 harbor stroll.
