Chuo Ward
The Kobe Anpanman Children's Museum & Mall is a theme park built to embody the world of illustrator and comic book writer Takashi Yanase's hero, Anpanman.
The first floor has free admission and is a shopping area that sells related merchandise. You are greeted at the entrance by Uncle Jam's Bread Factory where Anpanman's bread face is baked, just like in the story, and can actually be purchased. Bread in the form of Anpanman's friends, Shokupanman, Melonpanna-chan, and Baikinman can also be purchased. Prices start from 310 yen each.
There is a diverse range of merchandise on sale, including plush toys. The handicraft specialty store even offers a service that embroiders your name onto purses and handkerchiefs. Further into the area is the Anpanman Plaza, which holds live shows daily.
The second floor is a museum that recreates the world of Anpanman. There is an area where you can be a shopkeeper at the characters' stores, and an area with slides and rubber balls that'll let you play to your heart's content! Anpanman also makes an appearance in the various seasonal performances that are held at the Takashi Yanase Theater. Experience what it's like to be up close and personal with a hero!

- Remarks
- There are ramps and elevators to move between the two floors. Wheelchair accessible toilets (ostomate-friendly) are also available.
I believe that adults who grew up on the Anpanman cartoon will feel like they’re returning to their childhood here. I recommend couples buy some of the cute character bread as part of their Kobe Port date plans.
