Why You Should Visit

A summer tradition in Ozo, northern Kobe, where rice paddies are turned into volleyball courts. Teams of six play spirited matches knee-deep in mud, with the winning team taking home 30 kg of rice and all entrants receiving fresh vegetables from Ozo — local touches that give this tournament its distinctive charm.
