Overview

Kobe Rokko Meets Art 2025 Beyond is an open-air art festival held from August 23 to November 30, 2025, at the scenic Rokko Mountain Facility in Hyogo Prefecture. This annual event transforms the mountain into a vibrant gallery, showcasing contemporary art installations, sculptures, and interactive exhibits by Japanese and international artists.

Praised on X for its “stunning views” and “creative fusion of art and nature,” the festival spans multiple venues, including ROKKO Forest Sound Museum, Rokko Alpine Botanical Garden, and Rokko Garden Terrace Area. Open daily from 10:00 to 17:00 (night pass 17:00–20:00, extended to 21:00 for Shidare until Nov 24), tickets range from ¥1,850 (Night Pass) to ¥4,700 (Day and Night Pass + Shidare Set).
