Kobe Suma Sea World (Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture; Director: Yoshiaki Nakano), a facility operated by Gran Vista Hotel & Resort, is serving Halloween-limited menus at its restaurants from Thursday, October 1 through Saturday, October 31, 2026.
At Blue Ocean Orca Stadium, the only restaurant in western Japan where guests can dine while watching orcas, a full lineup of Halloween-limited buffet dishes will be available. The spooky yet playful menu includes "Sanda Pork Roast: Flowing Devil's Blood," featuring juicy, low-temperature-cooked Sanda pork from Hyogo Prefecture paired with a vivid red blood orange sauce; "Kids Trick or Treat," an adorable omurice styled after a jack-o'-lantern; and "Torosaba Zombie Cream-Style," cured mackerel topped with a purple sweet potato and cream sauce designed to evoke a zombie.
At the food court Wharf Dolphin Stadium, which focuses on local ingredients, the "Dolphin Halloween Sundae," topped with dolphin- and ghost-shaped chocolates, has arrived. At the takeout stand Port Diner Orca Stadium, guests can enjoy aquarium-exclusive Halloween sweets such as the "Purple Ghost Melon Soda," a mischievous drink that deceives the eyes and tongue — purple in color yet melon in flavor — and the "Orca Ghost Soft Serve," rich black chocolate soft serve hidden inside a chewy, mochi-like gyuhi coating, styled to look like an orca dressed up as a ghost.
In addition, on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays throughout October, guests who say "trick or treat" to costumed staff at four participating locations — Blue Ocean, Wharf, Port Diner, and Hotel Setouchi Harbor Restaurant — will receive an original Halloween sticker.
At the museum shop Blue Flag Orca Stadium, the popular no-lose "Orca Kuji" lottery will add a new autumn-limited color starting Thursday, October 1: "Grape Duo." The set comes in two colors, a grape shade in season for autumn and a calm gray, making it a fun way to mark a visit or pick up an autumn souvenir.
Enjoy a special Halloween at Kobe Suma Sea World with playful limited-time food, sweets, and new merchandise.
