GIGA Festa Kobe in Summer 2026

Why You Should Visit

Tool specialist Factory Gear hosts a hands-on sale and showcase at GIGA Factory Gear Kobe, on the 5th floor of ROKKO i PARK on Rokko Island. More than 50 domestic and international brands—including DEEN and BAHCO—gather so you can talk directly with makers and test the tools yourself. Highlights include special limited pricing, the "Festa Select" where you freely mix and match from about 60 items, and the visitor-participation "GEAR GACHA." A day out for everyone from DIY fans to working professionals.
