Splash Fantasia 2026 POP! UP! SUMMER!

Why You Should Visit

An immersive waterfront show on Takahama Quay in Kobe Harborland, combining fountains with light, projection and music. This year's theme is "POP! UP! SUMMER!", with a roughly 12-minute night show staged two to three times an evening. In the afternoon there's "Pirates vs. Water Battle", a water-gun session for kids where getting soaked is the whole point. Viewing is free, so you can drop in while shopping or strolling the harbor — a cool way to spend a summer evening by the sea.

FAQ

Do I need to pay to watch?

No — it's free and no reservation is needed. Just head to Takahama Quay at showtime.

How wet will I get?

Assume you'll get wet — water is part of the show inside the viewing area. The afternoon "Pirates vs. Water Battle" is an all-out water-gun fight, so bring a towel, a change of clothes and a waterproof case for your phone.

What happens if it rains?

Shows may be cancelled due to weather or operational decisions. Check umie's official website or social media on the day.

Is it OK to bring kids?

Yes — the afternoon water-gun event is designed for kids to join in. It's outdoors along the quay, so keep an eye on young children near the water.
