目次

From 18:30 to 18:45, Monday, October 20 to Friday, October 24, 2025
Where is it happening?
Kobe Meriken Park / Harborland
What are the nearest stations?
・A 15-minute walk from the West Ticket Gate (Hanakuma side) of “Kobe-Sannomiya Station” on the Hankyu Kobe Line.
・A 10-minute walk from “Motomachi Station” on the Hanshin Main Line and JR Kobe Line.
※All trains stop at Hanshin “Motomachi Station”, while only Rapid and Local trains stop at JR “Motomachi Station.” There will also be traffic restrictions on the day.
What will there be?
Fireworks launched under a different theme each of the 5 days
Familiar J-POP songs will be played during the event, too. Unlike large-scale fireworks shows, one of the charms is that you can watch them from up close.
You can get stickers
Visitors can get a different sticker each day at the venue. Apparently, you can also receive discounts at nearby participating shops.
Scenes from last year
They look pretty big when you see them up close.
This might be the only time you can take a photo of “BE KOBE” with no one around.
Last year, there was a bubble performance after the fireworks ended.
Can you see them from Nishinomiya?
The fireworks are relatively small, so the places where you can see them may be limited. You might be able to see them from a high-rise apartment building.
Finally
With the Expo, Yodogawa, and Itami, this has been a year with plenty of fireworks to enjoy. These fireworks in Kobe will be the last ones of the year. How about wrapping up this fireworks-filled year in Kobe?
