Why You Should Visit

A one-day, mushroom-themed event on the plaza in front of the Forest Exhibition Hall at Kobe Municipal Forest Botanical Garden. It is co-hosted with the Environmental Science Club of Hyogo Prefectural Mikage High School, known as Japan's only high school club devoted to mushrooms, and visitors can join a mushroom quiz and a keychain-making workshop. A forest concert by the school's string ensemble, an outdoor tea ceremony by its tea club, and mushroom goods for sale round out the day. A good fit for families with nature-loving kids, or for anyone combining it with an early-autumn walk in the Rokko woods.

FAQ

Do I need a reservation?
The official site does not state whether reservations are required. Workshops can have capacity limits, so calling the organizer before the event is the surest way to check.
Is it held if it rains?
The organizer states that the event is held rain or shine. It is cooler on the mountain than in the city, so bring an extra layer.
Can I also see the mushroom exhibition?
The 11th Rokko Mushroom Exhibition runs on the 2nd floor of the Forest Exhibition Hall from September 6 to December 18, so you can see it on the day of the festival as well.
