Why You Should Visit

The autumn edition of a meet-up for Mazda Roadster owners at Takahama Quay in Kobe. At the spring 2026 edition in April, more than 120 Roadsters from 27 prefectures lined up, with the Ferris wheel and Port Tower behind them as dusk turned to night. This time it falls on Halloween, with 123 general-entry cars chosen by lottery. Ryutsu Kagaku University's taiko club and Rinsei, an eight-woman taiko group based in Kobe, are scheduled to perform. The quay is a public area busy with sightseers, so you can see the cars from around the venue.
