Kobe Agri Park (located in Nishi-ku, Kobe), operated by ME Resort Tajima Inc. (Headquarters: Yabu City, Hyogo Prefecture; President: Tomoki Ichinoto) and TisTa Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoshihiko Tsuji), recorded 216,000 visitors in fiscal year 2025, a record number for the first time in 10 years.
As a base facility for Kobe's 'KOBE Satoyama SDGs Strategy,' Kobe Agri Park reopened in April 2025 under the Kobe City Agricultural Park Redevelopment and KOBE Satoyama SDGs Joint Venture (lead company: ME Resort Tajima Inc.). It inherits the charm of the long-beloved Kobe Winery (former Agricultural Park) while creating new value as an experience-based facility.
By offering diverse content, including the spring Nemophila Hill, events and markets in collaboration with local businesses, the park attracted many visitors. In fiscal year 2026, 100,000 people had already visited by the end of May, continuing to draw high interest. The project incorporates the methodology of 'the CRAFT® Movement,' a community revitalization technique, aiming to build sustainable relationships through mutual revitalization based on regional cooperation.
Nemophila Hill 2026
The breathtaking blue scenery created by approximately one million nemophila flowers and the clear sky. 'Kobe Agri Park Nemophila Hill 2026' will be held (press release).
Concept of Kobe Agri Park
Kobe Winery (former Agricultural Park) has long been a beloved facility in the rich natural environment of Nishi-ku, Kobe, themed around wine and agriculture.
Kobe City promotes the 'KOBE Satoyama SDGs Strategy' to realize a sustainable satoyama where people and nature coexist. Kobe Agri Park aims to be a place where many people can experience the charm and value of satoyama.
Satoyama is a place preserved and nurtured by human interaction with nature. However, in modern life, opportunities to connect with nature and local communities have decreased.
We have re-examined the facility's role by leveraging the history and community ties inherited from Kobe Winery. Rather than just a place to visit, we are creating a hub for connection between people and the community, people and nature, and people with each other. Through flowers, agriculture, food, and experiential activities, we aim to create a place where visitors can enjoy and learn about the charm of satoyama in a modern lifestyle, connect with the community, and pass it on to the future.
Through 'Food,' 'Agriculture,' 'Nature,' and 'Experience,' Kobe Agri Park has made a new start as a place where each visitor can discover new ways to engage with satoyama.
April 2025: 'Kobe Agri Park' – The former Agricultural Park transforms into an experience-based landscape park centered on 'Food' and 'Agriculture' (press release).

Background of the Record Visitor Numbers
Recent visitor numbers for Kobe Winery (former Agricultural Park) were 117,000 in FY2021, 163,000 in FY2022, and 154,000 in FY2023. In its first year as Kobe Agri Park, FY2025, it recorded 216,000 visitors, a record high for the first time in a decade.
This success is attributed to multifaceted promotion of the facility's appeal. From the spring Nemophila Hill to markets and events in collaboration with local businesses, and food content using local ingredients, the park has aimed to be 'a facility where you can discover something new every time you visit.'
Our goal is not temporary events prone to becoming stale or a scrap-and-build approach to attracting customers. It is about 'enjoying flowers,' 'tasting local food,' 'spending time in nature,' and 'meeting local people.' Through these experiences, we aim to remain a place where visitors can discover new charms each time, leveraging the inherited history and community ties.
Visitor Number Trends *No data for FY2024 due to renovation period.
The Future of Kobe Agri Park
A sunflower field is planned for August 2026, and a new experience-based activity for children aged 3 and up, 'Net Adventure (tentative name),' is scheduled to open in September 2026. By creating opportunities for children to play actively in nature and for families to enjoy time together, we aim to become a gathering place for an even wider range of generations.
In November, in collaboration with local businesses, we will continue to offer seasonal attractions such as the Kobe Sake Festival and Kobe Olive Festival, along with enhanced experience programs.
As a base facility for the 'KOBE Satoyama SDGs Strategy,' we will continue to communicate the charm of Kobe's satoyama, create new satoyama experiences that connect people, communities, and nature, and strive to build a facility loved by many.
