Why You Should Visit
A smaller, indoor edition of the Hyogo Kodomo Banpaku held on Port Island in September, this time inside Kobe Harborland umie for two days. Elementary-school "kid managers" run a festival corner with shooting galleries and lottery draws; company booths offer job-experience sessions and workshops; kids hunt staff wearing the event badge to clear missions, and search a colourful maze for treasure that unlocks a capsule toy. The festival games use tickets (from ¥300), while the kid-manager role and the "make your dream happen" class need advance booking. Good for families who want to combine shopping with something for the kids, rain or shine.
