Why You Should Visit
A seaside summer festival at TOTTEI PARK on Kobe's Shinko Pier. Ten shaved-ice and ice cream shops line up alongside food stalls serving yakitori rice bowls and kebab sandwiches, plus five nostalgic carnival games like shooting galleries and super-ball scooping. Sink a free throw at the basketball booth for a chance to win limited-edition goods, and on the 22nd the Kobe City Fire Department brings a fireboat display and extinguisher demo. Held alongside a Kobe Storks preseason game, it's a cool way to spend a summer evening by the water.
