Your home in Kobe for 2023 Rugby World Cup

We are already getting pumped here at The Rock Aussie Sports Bar & Grill (Kobe) for the prestigious 2023 Rugby World Cup which is being hosted by France from Sep 9th to Oct 29th, 2023 (Japan dates).


Seems like just yesterday we were watching the 2019 Rugby World Cup hosted by Japan with some games played locally in Kobe!

2023 Rugby World Cup in France

We will miss the many international guests form 2019, but not to worry... we'll be showing all of the RWC 2023 games at The Rock (Kobe), live* as they happen.


We are an Aussie pub and are in Japan, but here at The Rock, fans of all nations are welcome to join us for some Aussie hospitality and front-row seats to view your team on one of our several flat-screen TV's!

Bring your friends and watch the games at The Rock!

Game times (here in Japan):
20:00, 22:00, 00:45, 04:00


  • Our intention is to show all games live. If we're open, we'll be showing rugby! However, showing the late-night games will be subject to our receiving a minimum of 20 reservations for that game.
  • There is a ¥500 per-person seating charge for all after-midnight games.

Reservations are welcome and strongly recommended for the high-demand games, like Australia and Japan!


Group reservations are also welcome.
Get in touch early with any special requests so that we can make your viewing experience of the 2023 Rugby World Cup memorable and the best that it can be.
