Why You Should Visit
A summer-only "puzzle-solving" haunted house in the south brick warehouse of Kobe Harborland. To save "Hakoneko," a guardian spirit sealed away with a cursed box that drifted into the port, you explore the venue against the clock, gather clues, and solve its riddles. It's hands-on — you pick two of the prepared rooms to take on — with sound-and-light staging and scares throughout. In the final hour before closing it switches to a lights-out "Dark Night Mode." Fun for families, couples, and friends alike. (Note: in-venue guidance and instructions are in Japanese only.)
