Why You Should Visit

A traditional cultural project that revives a bridal procession set in Kobe 100 years ago. Participants dressed in formal black kimono parade through the streets following the story of the “Fox Wedding.” The event offers a dreamlike atmosphere where Japanese tradition meets Kobe’s multicultural identity.
