Located on the 2nd floor of the West Building, “AiiA 2.5 Theater Kobe” that presents 2.5-dimensional musicals based on anime, manga, and games.

The first of its kind in Kansai, it brings with it the excitement of 2.5D musicals that are popular in Japan and abroad. The “AiiA 2.5 Theater Kobe CAFE” was opened along with the theater, and features collaborative menu items related to each of the theater’s screeneings.

Found on the 3rd floor of the West Building, “Hyogo Prefecture Souvenir Excavator” is an attractive shop started in cooperation with local governments throughout the prefecture to present the tradition, technology, and tastes of Hyogo Prefecture. Many of Hyogo’s most “non-failing” souvenirs are available here as well as sake, and sweets to educate tourists on the prefecture’s charms.

The Kobe Beef Hall on the 3rd floor of the East Building is an experience-based facility where you can “know, see, and eat” Kobe beef, and learn about its history. Opened a little earlier than the rest of Koto no Hako Kobe in March 2019, the exhibition booth utilizes informative wall panels and videos to educate visitors before they enjoy Kobe beef prepared in the hall’s restaurants. The staff can also provide visitors with advice and help them choose a restaurant using the official Kobe Beef website.

Koto no Hako Kobe is a convenient place that can be utilized in various ways, from discovering the charms of Hyogo to collecting tourist information before sightseeing in Kobe and selecting souvenirs when leaving the city.
