Felissimo Chocolate Museum (Kobe City), operated by Felissimo, will implement an early opening during Golden Week 2026, from Saturday, May 2nd to Wednesday, May 6th, opening one hour earlier than usual at 10 AM. This allows for more convenient use for Golden Week tourism, in conjunction with surrounding facilities. Additionally, from Saturday, May 2nd, as a prize for the 'Package Hunting' game, which involves searching for specific packages among the museum's exhibits, one piece of chocolate will be given as a gift. After experiencing the exhibits with your eyes and heart, you can also feel the charm of chocolate through your taste buds.
Furthermore, on Saturday, May 9th, 2026, which is the last day of Golden Week, a workshop will be held with artist Marimo Yoshida, who created the current special exhibition 'Welcome to Patisserie Marimo's Tea Party ~Drifting on Waves of Choco-Mint Colors~'. In line with the exhibition's concept of a 'tea party', participants can create their own decorative mini parfaits using resin and other materials. Together with the new exhibition, which started on Saturday, April 11th, we look forward to offering arrangements that make spring outings more enjoyable and fulfilling.
