Why You Should Visit
A community festival on Rokko Island, gathering neighbourhood groups and local companies on the fourth floor of the Kobe Fashion Museum. Visitors walk from booth to booth to learn what each group actually does, and there is a sticker rally around the venue. Before the main programme, a pre-event talk by the president of INAC Kobe is planned. Admission is free and you can come and go as you like, so it works as a stop on the way to the shops or the museum galleries. Suited to island residents and to anyone curious about local community activity.
