Why You Should Visit

For two days, factories in Seishin Industrial Park in Kobe's Nishi Ward open their normally closed doors to the public. More than 20 companies, covering everything from bread production lines to metalwork, precision machinery and woodworking, offer factory tours, workshops and product sales. Highlights include a close look at Kawasaki Heavy Industries helicopters and hands-on sessions at Glicopia Kobe and Daiho Mokko. Free circular buses run from the satellite venue at the Kobe Seishin Oriental Hotel, and a digital stamp rally links the sites. Entry is free, making it a good day out for families curious about how things are made.
