Why You Should Visit
A handmade market held in Minatogawa Park on the fourth Saturday of every month under the theme 'Kobe's loveliest craft market'. Running since June 2012, it brings together crafts and art by local makers, wholesome food, family workshops, and the 'Minatogawa Ichiba marché' of stalls from the neighboring market. The adjacent Park Town mall sells discount vouchers on market days, so it pairs naturally with a wander through the market streets. Formats shift by edition — summer and autumn sessions move indoors as the 'Parktown marché', and some days add the evening 'Rappappa Night'.
