THE KOBE DINING CRUISE Concerto Launches Summer-Limited Ship Beer Garden and Summer Buffet

THE KOBE DINING CRUISE Concerto, a restaurant cruise ship operating out of Kobe Port, will host two summer-limited events starting in June 2026: the weekday "Ship Beer Garden" and the newly introduced weekend "Summer Buffet." Both offer all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink menus on a 1-hour-45-minute cruise around Kobe's waterfront.

[Weekdays] Ship Beer Garden — A Toast Above the Sea

All-you-can-eat beer food and all-you-can-drink on weekday cruises

Running Monday through Thursday plus Sunday evenings, the Ship Beer Garden offers a relaxed way to enjoy Kobe Port from the water. For ¥5,280 per adult, guests get all-you-can-eat beer-friendly fare including fried chicken and sausages, all-you-can-drink beverages, and the cruise itself.

Same-day reservations are accepted and casual attire is welcome, making it easy to drop by after work. Two sailings are available: a Twilight Cruise from 5:00 PM to 6:45 PM, and a Night Cruise from 7:15 PM to 9:00 PM. Guests can enjoy drinks while taking in Kobe's harbour scenery and nighttime lights.

[Weekends] Summer Buffet — A First-Ever Weekend Event

Enjoy the scenery as it shifts from afternoon to twilight and night

Hot dishes, cold dishes, and desserts served buffet-style

The Summer Buffet is making its debut this year as a weekend-only event running on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. Guests can enjoy a varied spread of hot dishes, cold dishes, and desserts in a buffet format, paired with all-you-can-drink beverages and the cruise.

Three sailing times are offered (availability varies by day): a Lunch Cruise from 12:30 PM to 2:15 PM (Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and select dates), a Twilight Cruise from 5:00 PM to 6:45 PM, and a Night Cruise from 7:15 PM to 9:00 PM (Fridays, Saturdays, and select dates). The shifting scenery — bright afternoon harbour, golden twilight, and glittering night views — is part of the experience.

Pricing is ¥8,800 for adults, ¥4,900 for children, and ¥2,800 for toddlers.

Yukata Discount on Both Events

A yukata discount of up to ¥1,000 applies to both summer events

A changing room at the ticket counter is available from 45 minutes before departure. The discount applies to reservations made through the official website or by phone, with on-site payment.
