We would like to introduce sightseeing place in Kobe.
Kobe is a name of city and it faces on both mountain and sea. And the picture above is “Sannomiya”, a downtown in Kobe.
A red tower on the left side of the picture is called “Kobe Port Tower”. It is a symbol of the city. At night, it is lighted up for a limited time only. Also, you could enjoy shopping around there.
Also, you can enjoy historical townscape when you visit Kitanozaka. It takes about 30 minutes by walk from Sannomiya station. A lot of foreigner used to live there.
It is convenient to use City Loop bus. It goes around Kobe in 60 minutes.
