Another place for Santa Claus in Kobe

Where can I visit Santa Claus in Kobe? If you are looking for somewhere to meet Santa Claus in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, he will be visiting the Kobe Christmas Market on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

However, this is not a photo event. It is a meet and greet. Santa will be walking around giving sweets to young children, between 4.30 and 5 pm. There is plenty other things to enjoy at the market too and there is sure to be a festive atmosphere with the Christmas lights and tree. The Christmas market runs from November 8th to December 25th 2025. 

The official event website currently does not have information about the Santa Claus, but the information was shared on a press release. The market is at Kobe Nunobiki Herb Garden, which does have an entry fee. It costs 2800 yen per adult, ropeway round trip fee included, and 1,400 yen per adult, ropeway round trip fee included.
