Why You Should Visit

A paid real-world event for the location-based game Pikmin Bloom, coming to Kobe after Tokyo Dome City in 2024 and Sendai in 2025. A ticket covers one day, either 21 or 22 November, spent walking between Special Spots around Kobe with a timid but curious Blue Pikmin. Each spot gives its own golden seedlings and event-only postcards, and visiting them all is roughly a 5 km walk. At Meriken Park you collect a gift set including a paper sun visor and the event map.

NOTE

Ticket perks (9:00–18:00 on your day)
  • Two postcards from each Special Spot
  • Seedlings grow twice as fast, and the Explorer finds more items
  • Half the petals needed to pick postcards from Big Flowers
  • Missed spots can be made up with tasks that appear 23–29 Nov (one postcard per spot)
In the app on the day
  • Befriend the Blue Pikmin to turn it into a Rosette Decor Pikmin
  • Giant Festival Mushrooms visible only to ticket holders (defeating one guarantees a rare November Mystery Box)
