Kobe harbour across blue water, the red lattice Port Tower, a curved white hotel and a tall tower, green hills behind

At night across harbour water: the red lattice Port Tower lit red, a tall hotel tower with a lit rooftop sign, and the white sail-shaped steel-frame roof of the Maritime Museum lit blue-green

At night across still water: a lit waterfront complex with a MOSAIC sign, a large lit Ferris wheel beside a tall apartment tower, amber lights reflected in the water

Hyogo: Where to Eat, What to Do and Where to Stay

Food · Things to do · Where to stay

The Hyogo pages start with Kobe. Its centre is Sannomiya, with Motomachi and Nankinmachi Chinatown to the west, Kitano and Ikuta Shrine to the north and the Meriken Park waterfront to the south. Shin-Kobe, where the Shinkansen stops, is one subway stop from Sannomiya.

Mt. Rokko, Mt. Maya, the Nada sake museums and Arima Onsen each need a cable car, a bus or a train from the centre; Arima Onsen is about 30 minutes from Shin-Kobe.
