Kobe

Kobe

Kobe (神戸, Kōbe) is a vibrant city nestled between the stunning Rokko mountain range and the shimmering sea, making it one of Japan's most attractive destinations. As the capital of Hyogo Prefecture, Kobe boasts a rich history as a vital port city, one of the first to open for foreign trade in the 19th century. Visitors can explore its picturesque waterfront, indulge in the renowned Kobe beef, and experience the unique blend of traditional and modern culture that defines this dynamic city. Following the devastation of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995, which claimed over 5,000 lives, Kobe has risen stronger than ever. The city has been meticulously rebuilt, offering a fascinating mix of historical sites and contemporary architecture. Take a stroll through the charming streets of Kitano, visit the iconic Kobe Harborland, or relax in one of the many scenic parks. Whether you're seeking adventure or tranquility, Kobe promises an unforgettable experience for every traveler.
