Why You Should Visit

The traveling hands-on theme park "Ennichi" returns to Kobe Meriken Park with some 260 stalls over two days. Beyond kitchen cars, festival food and shopping, kids can ride luxury cars on the "Ennichi Circuit," meet animals at a mobile zoo and aquarium, try a reverse bungee or dinosaur maze, and play classic festival games. Both days feature a non-stop stage — brass bands to K-pop dance and samba — plus a lottery with a Nintendo Switch grand prize.

NOTE

June 20 fireworks cancelled

The Kobe Port Weekend Fireworks (June 20 from 19:30), originally a simultaneous event, has been cancelled due to bad weather from strong winds. The Ennichi itself goes ahead as planned. The organizer says it will be held because everyone is looking forward to it, and asks visitors to come prepared for rain (official Instagram story).
