Why You Should Visit

Once a year Vissel Kobe opens its home ground, Noevir Stadium Kobe, on a non-match day for a free festival. The main stand becomes the audience for a kayokyoku (Japanese pop/enka) show featuring Ichiro Toba, Gen Takayama, Mizuki Hayama, Watanabe Flower and others. On the lawn outside, kids can try Vissel's soccer school, a parent-and-child catch clinic with former pro baseball players T-Okada and Ryota Imanari, plus running, dance and swimming lessons. The front plaza hosts a karaage (fried chicken) fest with four stalls. Built for three generations — enka-loving grandparents down to toddlers — to spend a day together.
