Why You Should Visit
A free outdoor street-live event born from a wish to energize Kobe through music. Bands that usually play in the city's live houses take to an open-air stage at Meriken Park, filling the waterfront with live sound. No ticket and no reservation needed — just drop in as you stroll along the harbor. A relaxed way to catch live music by the sea.
