Umie Christmas Market, Kobe
Scenic waterfront shopping centre Kobe Harborland Umie is hosting a Christmas market by the sea. Modelled after the authentic festive winter fairs in Germany, Umie’s take on this Christmas tradition features around 40 stalls, offering a plethora of Christmas goods and gifts as well as seasonal food and drinks including hot wine and sausages.
Umie Christmas Market takes place at Takahama Wharf, in front of the shopping centre, over three weekends leading up to Christmas: December 5–7, December 12–14 and, of course, December 18–25.
