Kobe

Beautiful Port City
Kobe is a beautiful port city surrounded by mount Rokko and sea. The city of Kobe has developed as a port city since the ancient times and it's main attractions are an integral part of the city's landscape and history, with museums celebrating its past bumping up against high-tech, sleek showcases for fashion and art. In 1868, Kobe was one of the first ports in Japan to open up to international trade and soon after the city was welcoming settlers from Europe, America, China and elsewhere, who created a collection of homes and shops in small foreign enclaves within the city that still stand to this day.

As you might imagine, Kobe is famous for “Kobe Beef”. But that’s not only attraction in Kobe. Much of Kobe life centres around its port, located close to the vibrant downtown area and lined with numerous parks and recreational facilities. Kobe is also home to some astonishing achievements in infrastructure development including the world's longest suspension bridge and large man-made islands. Also a centre for sake production, Kobe makes the largest amount of “Japanese Sake” in Japan. Many of Kobe's centuries-old rice wine making facilities are proud to welcome visitors for a taste and a tour.
