TOTTEI Reaches 3 Million Visitors In Kobe
The second year is tracking well ahead of the first, and the facility's owner is tying the milestone to the Kobe waterfront redevelopment rather than treating it as a standalone attendance number.

One Bright KOBE says TOTTEI, the Kobe waterfront area that includes GLION ARENA KOBE, reached 3 million cumulative visitors on Saturday, October 10, 2026, about 18 months after opening in April 2025. The first year drew 1.62 million annual visitors. An awards ceremony was held before a Kobe Storks home game, with a grand lottery through the official app and an SNS campaign for visitor memories.
The ceremony ran before a Kobe Storks home game. Mascot Storky handed out a TOTTEI goods set: a T-shirt signed by the full Kobe Storks roster, a postcard of a moment from the 2025 Arena opening game signed by player Noriaki Michihara, and a commemorative sticker. Everyone who visited the Arena that day got something from the app lottery, which included a Waterfront Full Enjoyment Prize pairing an Arena VIP floor experience with a pair stay ticket for Kobe Minato Onsen Ren, plus tickets to the theatrical aquarium atoa and FOOD coupons for TOTTEI restaurants.
The SNS campaign started the same day. Posts about TOTTEI memories or recommended spots enter a lottery for a 3 million visitor commemorative panel signed by all Kobe Storks players, the right to light the Arena in a chosen color, and TOTTEI FOOD coupons.
