[Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture] The beautiful port town of Kobe!!

Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, is the prefectural capital and has flourished as a port town since ancient times. When you think of Kobe, you think of its distinctive red tower and pointed white building. The red tower is called the Kobe Port Tower, and the pointed white building is called the Kobe Maritime Museum. There is also a place called Meriken Park near the Kobe Port Tower, where you can see the famous BEKOBE monument. There is also a stylish Starbucks nearby, making it a popular place with young people. There is also an Aeon-affiliated umie, so you can do your shopping here. There are so many stores that it is impossible to see them all in one day, but if you are interested, please go and visit!! #0 yen travel #Hyogo Prefecture #Kobe City

Mount Rokkō

Ready to explore Kobe? This trip was all about city views, waterfront vibes, and easy-breezy transport hacks 😎🚌 From riding up Mount Rokkō for epic panoramas to chilling by the Port and iconic Kobe Port Tower, here’s how to make the most of your Kobe adventure! Must-See Places: - Mount Rokkō (Mount Rokkō, Arimacho, Kita Ward, Kobe, Hyogo 651-1401, Japan, Open 24/7): Take the city loop bus up to this scenic spot and snap some sunrise or sunset pics—the views stretch all the way across Osaka Bay! - Port of Kobe (5 Chome Minatojima, 650-0045, Japan): Stroll along the promenade, watch ships (and the occasional luxury cruise liner) roll in, or just vibe with the sea breeze at any hour. - Kobe Port Tower (5-5 Hatobachō, Chuo Ward, Kobe, Hyogo 650-0042, Japan, 9am–11pm, admission ¥47): Head up the retro-futuristic red tower for 360° city + bay views. Pro tip: visit in the evening for a sparkling cityscape! Top Hack: Kobe’s city loop and port loop buses make exploring so easy! Just hop on—they stop right at all the major sights and run frequently, so you’ll save tons of walking time (and yen!). Getting Around: Use city loop and port loop buses for stress-free sightseeing. They’re cheap, cover all main attractions, and perfect for short stays. Food Rec: Try local beef at a nearby steakhouse or grab street snacks at Nankinmachi (Kobe's Chinatown), just a quick bus ride away. Extra Tips: No visa needed for short stays if you’re from most Western countries. Cash is queen for small eats, but most sights accept cards. Weather can change fast on Mount Rokkō—pack a light jacket! #KobeViews #JapanTravel #CityLoopBus #VisitKobe #PortTower

Meriken Park

🌈 Sparkle through Kobe’s Night: Kobe Luminarie & Meriken Park ✨ Experience Kobe’s magical evenings with the Kobe Luminarie illumination—a stunning kaleidoscope of light installations—and chill vibes at Meriken Park by the waterfront. Stroll this urban oasis for a picture-perfect night! Here’s your route: Start at Meriken Park (2 Hatobacho, Chuo Ward), where the dazzling Kobe Luminarie glows each December (do check the annual schedule before visiting for specifics!). Kick off your night by wandering beneath the illuminated arches—every turn sparkles for jaw-dropping photos. Head toward the Kobe Port Tower for an insta-worthy shot with both the tower and the sea-lit artwork in frame. Don’t miss the BE KOBE monument, especially when the lights are reflected on the bay. It’s the local favorite for postcards and social feeds! Must-do: Pause near the Luminarie’s grand entrance and snap some close-ups—this section usually has the boldest colors and the highest selfie potential. Afterwards, linger at the park’s piers for gentle sea breeze and city skyline views, especially dreamy after sundown. Tips: Luminarie can get packed, so arrive early to beat the crowds (aim for just before dusk), and bundle up—December evenings by the water are surprisingly chilly! For the best lighting in your photos, wait till the illumination is fully switched on (usually after sunset). Meriken Park is open all day, so no rush to leave after the show. 🚶♂️ Precautions: Watch your step if you’re snapping photos—some walkways get slippery when damp. #Kobe #Luminarie #JapanTravel #MerikenPark #NightOut
