Why You Should Visit

The autumn edition of Kobe's largest reptile and exotic animal expo, held twice a year at Kobe Sanbo Hall. Professional breeders and specialist shops fill the large exhibition halls on the first and second floors, showing and selling leopard geckos, bearded dragons, tortoises and other reptiles, plus amphibians, birds of prey, small mammals, and caudex plants such as agave.
