Why You Should Visit
A market themed around rabbits, forests and plants, held on the plaza in front of the Forest Exhibition Hall at Kobe Municipal Forest Botanical Garden. Around 30 booths offer rabbit harnesses and treats, rabbit-motif goods, original picture-book art and plant arrangements, alongside aroma and plant workshops and an awareness booth run by a rabbit rescue group. Baked sweets, organic vegetables and shaved ice are also on sale, so you can make a day of it with a walk in the Rokko woods. A good fit for rabbit owners and families who love animals and plants. Held rain or shine.
