Why You Should Visit
A dog run that opens only after dark on the lawn of TOTTEI PARK, out on the Kobe waterfront. The run is lit up along with the illuminations on the park's green hill, and it's open from 17:00 to 21:00 once the day's heat has eased. The neighbouring BBQ area offers a beer-garden plan, and you can bring takeaway from the park's restaurants. On August 15 the Kobe Port Weekend Fireworks are launched over the water and can be watched from the dog run. Three evenings aimed at owners who find daytime walks too hot in summer.
