Why You Should Visit

A two-day hands-on festival at Kobe's waterfront Meriken Park, built for children but open to everyone.

Food trucks, a stage, a disaster-preparedness zone, a Japanese festival-stall zone and a PET EXPO area fill the park as well. Admission is free; this is the third Kobe edition.
