Kobe is a city that is perhaps best known for its culinary attractions, thanks to its globally renowned Kobe Beef. It seems fitting, then, that the city would host an event dedicated to all things meat. The three-day Kobe Niku Festival allows visitors to indulge in everything from hamburgers and steaks through to yakiniku and yakitori, creating a carnivore's paradise.
Entrance to the event itself is free, but food and drink purchases will be operating off a ticket system where 3000 JPY buys you five tickets. Along with the variety of tasty eats and drinks on offer, there will also be music and dance performances creating a fun and lively atmosphere.
Getting there
The event takes place at Kobe's Meriken Park. The venue can be accessed in around 10 minutes on foot from Motomachi Station, which is served by the JR Kobe Line, the Hanshin Main Line, and the Kōbe Kōsoku Line.
