Hokkaidō Fest in Kobe brings Hokkaidō food and culture to Meriken Park for six days. Expect seafood, lamb, and other northern specialties, alongside Ainu cultural activities and stage performances.
What to expect
This festival promises to transport you to Hokkaido, without leaving Kobe’s harbor.
There will be 30 food and drink stalls, plus workshops and live entertainment. The food, as expected, is the main event: think seafood, lamb, robatayaki, regional sweets, and craft beer, with plenty of room to eat outside around the park.
