Kobe Port Tower is about a 15-minute walk from JR/Hanshin Motomachi Station, or 5 minutes from Minato-Motomachi Station on the Kaigan subway line. Participating venues are spread from the Kobe waterfront to the Kitano area, so check each location's own access details too.

Why You Should Visit

Centered on Kobe Port Tower, this citywide collaboration brings the world of Moomin to more than 20 locations across Kobe — hotels, restaurants, and cruise boats among them. Look for photo spots, collab menus, and original merchandise at each venue, and catch the Port Tower and Maritime Museum lit up in blue and yellow on October 12–13. The Kobe City Museum is also hosting the "Tove and the Moomins" exhibition during the same period, making it easy to combine with a walk around town.
