Kobe Portopia Hotel (Chuo Ward, Kobe; General Manager Tsuyoshi Ito) is offering a stay plan, limited to three rooms, that guarantees a spot on the "Kobe Airport Runway Night Walk Tour," a popular event held on Friday, August 21, 2026, and hosted by Kansai Airports Kobe Co., Ltd. Beyond guaranteed participation in the night walk tour, the plan bundles a hotel stay, a dinner buffet at the restaurant on the main building's 30th floor, transfers between Kobe Airport and the hotel, and breakfast the following morning.
The "Kobe Airport Runway Night Walk Tour" lets participants walk the runway and other areas normally off-limits to the public, surrounded by the glow of airfield lighting, during the hours after Kobe Airport's nightly operations end. This installment also marks the 20th anniversary of Kobe Airport's opening, with commemorative merchandise planned as giveaways. Since the tour always draws more applicants than spots and is usually decided by lottery, Kobe Portopia Hotel's new plan — one room for two guests, limited to three rooms — guarantees a place on the night walk tour.
