Why You Should Visit

A neighborhood summer festival held around a towering yagura on the grounds of Itayado Elementary School in Suma. Gates open at 2pm with a talent contest, followed by stage performances from local high school and university dance and taiko clubs. From early evening the crowd circles the tower for bon-odori, joined by Kobe's own Nakata Kobe Culture Samba Team, before the night peaks with "Bon Disco" at 7pm and "Bon Jovi-style" singing at 8pm. Food trucks and local stalls line the grounds — an easy, relaxed evening for families.
