Gallery tips for Kobe
Gallery-going in Kobe? A few habits help:
- Check accessibility at ナルミヤ戎橋画廊. Older gallery buildings can be tricky. The website usually notes step-free access — check before you go.
- Check for late openings at ほたるアート. Some galleries open late one evening a week. After-work art is an underrated pleasure.
- Trust your own reaction. You don't need the wall text's permission to love or hate a piece. Your honest reaction is the whole point of going.
- Kids are welcome (usually). Most galleries are fine with children; the contemporary ones especially. Call ahead if you're unsure.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Kobe — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Kobe can take a while to appear. The 78 above are only as current as the community map. A art gallery that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 78 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
Art gallery listings for Kobe: 78 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
