Why You Should Visit

Hanakuma, just west of Motomachi, was once one of Kobe's well-known geisha districts. This free afternoon event, titled "Hanakuma Showa Culture Festival" for 2026, keeps that history alive at Honganji Kobe Betsuin, the striking Indian-style "Modern Temple." Expect talks by people with ties to the neighborhood, bon dancing, and a concert of traditional Japanese music such as nagauta and kouta performed by a school head and singers. It is indoors, free and needs no booking, making it an easy way to experience a lesser-known side of Kobe.
