access
Kobe Harborland, the easiest place to start, is about a 5-minute walk from JR Kobe Station or Harborland Station on the Kaigan subway line. By car it is roughly 5 minutes from the Kyobashi exit of Hanshin Expressway Route 3 Kobe, using the paid car parks at each complex. Rally points also extend toward Meriken Park and New Seaport, so plan your walking route to suit your pace.

Why You Should Visit

A free puzzle-solving walking rally that links 12 panels along the Kobe waterfront, from Harborland through Meriken Park to New Seaport. The story has you searching for the door to Symphonia, a legendary harbour: solve the mission set in each of the three areas, then tackle the Final Mission. Add the official LINE account as a friend, pick up a puzzle sheet at one of the distribution points, and start from whichever of the 12 panels you like. Recommended for ages 10 and up, and for anyone happy to spend half a day or more walking by the sea.

FAQ

Is there a fee to take part?
Taking part is free and the puzzle sheet is handed out at no charge. You do need to add the rally's official LINE account as a friend, so those who do not use LINE cannot join.
Can children join in?
The recommended age is 10 and up, though the organiser says younger children can enjoy it alongside their family. Since the route covers 12 points on foot, allow enough time for breaks along the way.
Where should I start?
You may begin at any of the 12 rally points. The smoothest approach is to pick up a puzzle sheet at one of the distribution spots first, then work outward from the nearest panel.
Until when can I submit my answer?
The organiser has not published an entry deadline; the rally itself runs until 12:00 on Friday 6 November. Winners are to be notified by email and the answers published around early December 2026. Check the official site and LINE account for the latest details.
