❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. This is my first time — will I be all right?
Of course you will! About half of our participants are first-timers.
We receive plenty of comments along the lines of "This is my first time, looking forward to it!"
Coming on your own or travelling from far away is more than welcome. All of our staff will give you a warm reception.
Q. Can I take part if my car is modified?
There is no problem at all as long as it stays within the safety standards (street-legal for the shaken inspection)!
Inspection-compliant exhausts, suspension, aero parts — show us what you love about your car.
However, illegally modified vehicles that would not pass inspection will be refused entry.
Q. Is it all right to come from far away?
More than welcome! At the moment we are receiving entries from all over the country, from Tohoku to Kyushu.
It is a chance to meet fellow Roadster owners from across Japan amid the beautiful scenery of the Kobe portside.
Q. The number of passengers or my license plate may change
If anything changes, please let us know by replying to your confirmation email.
We use your license plate for check-in on the day, so please be sure to tell us about any change.
Q. I'm worried about traffic congestion
This event is held in coordination with the venue facility, the Hyogo Prefectural Police and the local neighborhood associations.
By splitting entry across four time slots, we keep the impact on the surrounding area to a minimum.
Please cooperate by arriving during your assigned time!
✨ What Makes the Venue Special ― It's Not Just the Sea!
"Lining Roadsters up along the water" — that alone would be more than appealing enough,
but in truth there is far more to Kobe Umie Mosaic than that.
🎡 The Ferris wheel
The great Mosaic Ferris wheel towers right beside the venue.
By day its colorful form stands out, and by night its illumination is reflected in the hoods of the Roadsters for a truly magical sight.
🗼 The former Kobe Port signal station
A historic structure that has watched over the safety of the port since the Showa era.
The contrast between its solid stonework and the Roadsters lined up at its feet makes for a shot you can take nowhere else.
🌇 Scenery that changes with the hours
The blue sky of midday, the orange of sunset, the illuminations of night.
It is the same place, yet it shows a completely different face depending on the time of day.
You could stay all day and never grow tired of it — that is this venue's greatest charm.
🎫 There's Still Time!
Entries will close as soon as we reach capacity.
We recommend applying early!
April 11, at Kobe Umie Mosaic.
Port Tower, the Ferris wheel, the signal station, and the port of Kobe at sunset —
come and spend the very best of days together with your Roadster!
Every one of us on the organizing team sincerely looks forward to your participation!
