Hello, this is Omori, representative of KRM.
Ahead of our new event “jewel of Kobe ~2026spring~”, scheduled for Saturday, April 11, we headed to the venue, Kobe Umie Mosaic, for a location scouting visit and a promotional photo shoot!
Checking the Atmosphere of the Venue
We had two main goals this time.
One was checking the vehicle layout and the traffic flow for the day, and the other was taking photos for our publicity materials.
We lined up the organizers' own Roadsters and checked everything in detail: how it actually looks, whether it interferes with the paths visitors take, and so on.
With the Ferris wheel and the Mosaic building as a backdrop, the sight of Roadsters lined up in a row is simply stunning!
When I think that on the day itself this will be up to 120 cars, I already can't contain my excitement.
Port Tower and the Roadster
When you think of Kobe, it has to be Port Tower.
And Port Tower seen looking up from inside a Roadster makes quite a picture too.
Port Tower beyond a tail lamp; the rear view of Roadsters lined up along the Mosaic waterfront.
Wherever you point the camera here, it makes a picture.
Kobe Port at Dusk — Truly the Hour of “Jewels”
We started shooting in the afternoon, and at last dusk arrived.
This is the very time of day that the name “jewel of Kobe” comes from.
As the sky shifted from orange to pink and then to deep indigo, the lights of Port Tower and of the city came on one by one.
That scene was beautiful in exactly the way a jewellery box tipped upside down is beautiful.
Port Tower and the Maritime Museum lit up, and the Roadsters lined up in front of them.
It looks set to be an event where you can enjoy scenery that changes from moment to moment, from evening into night, together with friends.
Enjoying the Harbour Breeze in the Open Air
With the top down, the setting sun streams into the Roadster's cockpit — what a wonderfully indulgent time.
In the spirit of “Be a driver.”, we want to enjoy this city even more.
See You on April 11!
