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)
