Why You Should Visit
A hands-on market themed around food, farming and play, held on the green space next to Kobe Port Island Aozora Farm. Entry is free. Dig up sweet potatoes or peanuts in the farm and take them home, pick basil and make your own pizza, fly a small drone or drive a radio-controlled buggy, or try catching fish with your bare hands. Food trucks serve snacks and sweets, and a market stall sells produce from the town of Sayo in western Hyogo. A good pick for families looking for an autumn day out on Port Island.
