The location is on the west side of the Kobe Bay Sheraton Hotel along the River Mall east of Island Center Station on the Rokko Liner.
This footbath was newly built to coincide with the “9th Nitten Kobe Exhibition” (February 18 – March 26) at the Kobe Fashion Museum (Koyo-cho, Higashinada-ku, Kobe City), an art museum associated with Kobe, utilizing the River Mall space, which is a symbol of Rokko Island.

Each bathtub has a different depth (10 to 30 cm) and is designed to flow from top to bottom like a river, and can accommodate 10 to 15 people at a time. Hours of use are from 10:00 to 17:00.
It will continue to be available after the Nitten exhibition period ends. It is expected to become a new spot crowded with people.
<Report from the person in charge>
Quality hot water is available at the source! Everyone, please bring your own towel when you come and enjoy it at your leisure. Please enjoy a moment of healing along the River Mall that flows through Rokko Island in conjunction with the Nitten Kobe Exhibition! <A word from the reporter>
An authentic footbath with a running spring! I would love to take advantage of the cold weather we are having. The area around the River Mall is about to get even livelier!
