Why You Should Visit

A market run by the Kobe nonprofit KOBE Tomarigi around the idea of making everyday life in Kobe a little richer. In October it takes over both plazas in front of JR Nada Station, with food stalls and makers from around Kobe, and entry is free. Two add-ons run alongside it: a work-experience festival where kids help out in real market stalls, and a rogaining game where teams collect points through photos and missions. It suits families who want an easy station-side outing with something for the kids to do.

Essentials

There are 1 car parks within a 12-minute walk of JR Nada Station plazas (north and south). The map shows each with its walking time.

Facility data comes from OpenStreetMap. It does not include opening hours, fees or availability.

No booking needed for the market. Book the work experience via the booking form by 23:59 on Mon, Oct 12 (up to two siblings per booking). For rogaining, pick a reception slot on the entry form and check in at the south plaza reception on the day.
