    "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."
