Why You Should Visit
Kobe City hosts a ceremony marking a rare "quadruple" — four of the city's home teams (INAC Kobe Leonessa, Kobe Storks, Vissel Kobe and Kobelco Kobe Steelers) taking their respective league titles in the same season. One player and one mascot from each team gather on the plaza at Meriken Park for a special sports award presentation, the unveiling of commemorative artwork and a photo session. Around 19:30 the Kobe Port Weekend Fireworks follow with a special display for the occasion, so you can stay on for the waterfront evening.
