Why You Should Visit
A two-day music-and-food event on the Suma waterfront. Over 30 food trucks and tent booths fill BE KOBE Plaza, with live sets by local artists on August 8 and a kids' dance stage on August 9. Eat, drink and listen to free live music with the sea in front of you. It sits right by the beach, so it works as a stop on the way back from swimming or from Kobe Suma Sea World — an easy summer seaside market whether you come with family or on your own.
