Why You Should Visit
Three days of food trucks — 17 per day — lining Sunshine Wharf Kobe, a bayside shopping complex within walking distance of Hanshin Oagi Station. Meals and desserts are both covered, and you eat right there in the open-air plaza with the sea breeze coming through. The stage runs a rotating programme of police and fire brigade bands, local dance teams and school groups, while a travelling aquarium, pickleball taster sessions and a camper van display fill out the grounds. Admission is free, making it an easy holiday-weekend outing where you can eat while the kids find something to do.
