The ROKKO Mori Sound Museum (museum-equivalent facility), operated by Rokkosan Kanko Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kobe City, President: Kimihiko Teranishi), will hold the “Mori Sound Museum” (museum equivalent facility) from November 24th (Friday) to December 25th (Monday), 2023. ‘Oto Wonder Christmas 2023’ will be held.
“Forest Sound Wonder Christmas 2023” Overview
Since Mori-no-Oto Hall in our facility is a German-style Western-style building, we will hold exhibitions and events with the theme of “Christmas in Germany.” In the concert room in Mori-no-Oto Hall, the space is surrounded by automatic musical instruments such as antique music boxes, and is decorated with warm indoor illuminations using Christmas trees and German-made Christmas ornaments. In addition to holding concerts in which hymns and Christmas songs are performed using automatic musical instruments in a space that resembles a storybook world, the facilities include sales of German-made ornaments and Christmas-designed music boxes, a limited-time cafe menu, Christmas workshops, and more. As a whole, you can enjoy a Christmas mood that is a little different from the rest of the city.
