Why You Should Visit

For three days the streets of Sannomiya themselves become the stage. Squares, shopping arcades, a department store and a shrine — nine venues in all — host back-to-back live music plus comedy and street performance. More than 120 acts appear in 2026, with Gagaga SP, Shinji Harada, Arukara and →Pia-no-jaC← among the names on the main stage at Ikuta Shrine. Everything is free to watch, so you can wander between venues as you shop or eat your way around town.

FAQ

Do I need a ticket or pay to watch?
All performances are free and no ticket or reservation is needed. You can come and go at any venue, so it's fine to drop in for just one act.
Which venue should I start from?
All nine venues are within walking distance of Sannomiya Station. A natural route is to start at Sankita Hiroba and Sankita-dori just north of the station, then head to the main stage at Ikuta Shrine for the evening.
Is it suitable for families with children?
Most stages are standing-room in squares and arcades and you can leave anytime. During the day, indoor and covered venues such as Kobe Hankyu and Sannomiya Center-gai help you stay out of the heat. The programme runs late into the night, so earlier hours suit young children better.
What happens if it rains?
Outdoor stages may be changed or cancelled in bad weather. Day-of updates are posted on the official website and X account (@kobe_shuyu).
