    Hyogo Kobe-shi Chuo-ku Higashikawasakicho
    "A double drawbridge located on the south side of the CULMENI Kobe Culture and Information Building in Kobe Harborland. The parallelogram-type pedestrian only open bridge is located in the center of Hanekko Plaza with its benches resembling stone staircases. Originally, the city of Kobe built the bridge to accommodate boats accessing the dock at the event area, but boat traffic stopped and it went unopened for many years. The bridge now opens and closes to allow ""SPLASH"", the amphibious car to pass."

The wooden boardwalk runs along the seafront from the side of the brick warehouse to the New Port Fifth Jetty Old Signal Station. With gas lamps and benches, it's a popular spot for a stroll while enjoying the scent of the sea. It also has a nice view of Kobe Port. At Harbor Walk's far end is the 46.3-meter New Port Fifth Jetty Old Signal Station that's bathed in soft light at night.

  • Kiyomorizuka
    Travel / Tourism
    Hyogo Kobe-shi Hyogo-ku Kiretocho 1-3
    This 13-tiered stone pagoda towers in the vicinity of Kiyomori Bridge. It stands 8.5 meters tall not including the finial on top and its first square tier has sides measuring 145 centimeters each. Said to have been erected in 1286, the pagoda was originally located to the southwest of its current location on a mound believed to be the grave of Taira no Kiyomori. The pagoda was relocated in 1923 due to the construction of the Kobe City Tram. At this time, it was discovered that the pagoda was not a grave marker but instead memorial tower. Next to the tower is a statue of Taira no Kiyomori by the sculptor Yoshitatsu Yanagihara, who was a Kobe native. Also nearby is the Biwazuka, a stone monument to Taira no Tsunemasa, a military leader who was also a master of the biwa lute. Many people come visit to see all three attractions.
  • Site of Yukimi no Gosho
    Travel / Tourism
    Hyogo Kobe-shi Hyogo-ku Yukinogoshocho 2-1
    "This place is assumed to be where Taira no Kiyomori's residence stood at the end of the Heian period. Foundation stones and many pieces of earthenware and roof tiles were discovered in the schoolyard of Minatoyama Elementary School during its remodeling in 1908. Based on this fact, and the fact that the area was named ""Yukinogosho"" until the Meiji Period, it is surmised that this place was the site of an indescribably beautiful mountain villa and garden that were the epitome of extravagance. Taira no Kiyomori made Fukuhara his residence and base of operations around 1168. The site is marked with a stone monument created from a large stone thought to have been used in the construction of the residence's garden. It can be seen from the footpath to the north of the old Minatoyama Elementary School."

    Hyogo Kobe-shi Chuo-ku Minatojimanakamachi 6-9-1

    大きなイベントならここと、近くの国際展示場やポートピアホテルも会場になることが多い。その場合は、近隣とは言え、移動に結構歩きます。ポートピアへからの移動は、2階の通路で行くのが良いです。1階だと雨では濡れるし、コロナで開いている玄関が制限されていると、すんなり入れなかったりします。 国際展示場と国際会議場を混同しがちです。 三宮には「神戸国際会館」もあるので、もっと混同しないよう。

    神戸駅から徒歩圏内に立つ神社でした。神戸8社の一つに惹かれて参拝したのですが、街中の神社と云った風情で、普段の参拝者は少なそうでした。猶、境内には自家用車が何台も停まっており駐車場化しているようでした。

Hyogo Areas

around-area-map

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
