my voucher link could not be clicked on, but it work when i copied and pasted it to chrome. bring coins for the bus, wear good shoes with a bit of suspension for the trek around, and be ready to remove layers in the bus if you go at the latter part of the festival. it was freezing on the mountain but the bus was packed like sardines on the way back. overall, a wonderful experience for the senses. you'll need more than one day for sure. most guests were respectful and kept the serenity of the art experience while still having fun with taking photos. good to be mindful that people come with different intentions and to ensure we all have a good time.
Visiting the Mt. Rokko Art Festival on a weekday means fewer crowds. The bus shuttle schedule is reasonable. After booking tickets on Klook, it's convenient to redeem paper tickets at designated points and freely explore the art festival's artwork areas. It's worth spending a day there.
At the same time, you can view the day and night views of Kobe and Osaka from Mount Rokko, and you can explore the entire Mount Rokko through art works. There is also the Church of the Wind, which is only open during the art season, so you can arrange a full day's itinerary.
it’s gorgeous, and I like it very much.
Service: Quick and convenient online purchase Price: Slightly cheaper than buying tickets on-site Facilities: Many areas to explore, requiring at least a full day to see Convenience of Klook booking: Very convenient, buy and use instantly Experience: The arts festival has many interesting art installations, which is quite good
I discovered a very interesting art festival when I went to Japan. I found out that KLOOK has booking services, so I had no problem booking tickets from abroad. It was very convenient. I suddenly had a question in the middle, so I quickly sent an email to customer service. The customer service response was very fast and reassuring. I was able to smoothly exchange my ticket for a paper ticket at the art festival site and had a great time. I highly recommend it.
Amazing variety of art and installations, though some are more accessible than others. Definitely worth the price, but make sure you allow plenty of time!
Purchased a day and night pass. Arrived at the location at 3 PM. Started viewing the art from the outside. Didn't have enough time to finish the art around Miyoshi Kannon. At the botanical garden, an image appeared as if dandelions were about to release their seeds. It was incredibly beautiful. In the Forest of Light, colorful lamps floated like lanterns. It was magical and made for a nice stroll day and night.
Great for anyone interested in contemporary art! The participating venues are diverse, ranging from music boxes to botanical gardens. It was fun to see how the venues we visited during the day transformed at night. We got the Rokko and Maya leisure ticket pass separately, which made traveling up and around Mt. Rokko easier.
Although Mount Rokko is a little far from the center of Kobe, it is still worth taking the cable car up to see it. This art season package allows us to enter and exit different venues smoothly, and the art works are also very beautiful! I can’t finish it in a day!
