Introducing the Kobe White Dinner
Kobe White Dinner is an elegant dining event held in Kobe since 2014, inspired by a cultural tradition that originated in Paris.
Participants, dressed entirely in white, gather at a specially arranged outdoor venue in the city. They bring their own food, drinks, and decorations, and create beautifully coordinated table settings of their own.



Theme
Chic&Elegant
The venue, beautifully transformed with a simple yet striking all-white aesthetic, features a live music stage and a DJ-led dance area.
But the true stars of the evening are the participants themselves.
Celebrating each other’s creativity in a shared spirit of elegance and harmony, this one-night-only outdoor dinner event returns once again to Kobe.

Philosophy
Born in Autumn 2014.
Kobe White Dinner originated as a civic-led social experiment at the historic Weathercock House. From a modest circle of thirty participants, it has evolved into an extraordinary nocturnal tradition that redefines our city.

2014年10月、神戸の未来の姿を議論するために「デザイン都市・神戸」創造会議が開催されました。
その会議の中で、本ディナー実行委員長が東遊園地の活性化を提案し、市民有志の手ではじまったのが神戸ホワイトディナーです。
神戸ホワイトディナーは、市民一人ひとりが想像力を発揮してまちづくりに参加し、神戸の新たな魅力を創造する「デザイン都市・神戸」を応援しています。
