Why You Should Visit
A passport-style stamp rally that takes you around Kobe's night spots. For its second edition in 2026, 45 venues take part — izakaya, bars, snack bars, sushi counters and yakitori joints. Joining is free: show the passport and each shop offers a little something, such as a complimentary dish or a drink, and every stamp you collect earns a 10% off coupon. It is an easy way into the back alleys of Higashimon-gai and Kitano-zaka that can feel hard to enter alone.
