The Kobe Port during the day is very romantic, and the Kobe Port at night is very charming and has its own beauty. Kobe Port in Kansai, Japan, is a worth visiting attraction, praise.
The night view of Kobe Port in Kobe Prefecture, Japan is very good, with a romantic atmosphere and the air is very fresh. In summer, it is very cool both during the day and at night, making tourists linger. At the same time, Kobe’s food is also very famous. It is so happy to taste the food and enjoy the night view at Kobe Port.

where this place to go for skiing in the winter and sightseeing in the summer , the cables are ok , the night scenery of the city looks great too
Lots to do beyond just scenery. We took the cable car from Rokko Shita Cable Car station to Rokko Sanjo station up the mountain. I would recommend getting the bus to explore the mountain as there are restaurants and better views up the top. For those with athletic kids/ active adults, definitely would recommend checking out the athletic park - some fun ninja warrior style obstacle course there. We had a blast!

Nice garden. Can see the entire Kobe port town and far away Osaka. Variety of flowers.
Although it is winter, it also has its own unique beauty. The cable car and the aromatherapy museum are both great. The cable car can be taken in a loop, and each station is worth experiencing and staying at. There is also an activity area with various sports equipment for free use, and parents and children can have fun together.

The Ferris wheel is so beautiful when it turns on the lights after dark, and it keeps changing colors. It is a good place to enjoy the night view of Kobe. The night ride is very romantic. There is a Hello Kitty themed car that overlooks Kobe Port.
Japan likes to install Ferris wheels everywhere. Some of them are really spectacular, but the one in Kobe Port is not. It can only be regarded as a landmark building in the local area, but it is not very fun.
The Ferris wheel is right next to the Mosaic shopping mall. It is very eye-catching when the lights are on at night. It is very easy to find when walking all the way from Kobe Station. I didn’t plan to take it at first. The ticket of 800 is not cheap, but I was embarrassed by the enthusiastic salesperson.
The Ferris wheel itself is relatively old. The only claim is that you can see the night view of Kobe Port, but I live on the top floor of Okura. And in the Mosaic downstairs, there are Ferris wheel coupons for buying things. I obviously lost money by going to the Ferris wheel first. Alas

Take a walk in Kobe Meriken Park~ Every time I come to Kobe, I will come here to take a walk. Kobe Tower is still fenced. It has been a while. The last time I came in 2019, Kobe Tower was fenced.
be kobe is like the slogan of Kobe, a must-check in~ Take a walk and see Kobe~
Meriken Park is the Port of Kobe, and the Port of Kobe Tower is next to it, but the tower is currently wrapped and may be under maintenance. The park has the famous be kobe check-in sign and three different photo spots. The park also has the Japanese Immigration Monument and a commemorative stone for the 120th anniversary of foreigners entering Japan.

The Japanese-style rooms and the floor with goldfish and carp were really nice. It was a stylish and beautiful facility. The cost performance may be questionable. Even if you take your time, it took about 2 hours.
It's perfect for a date! I've been there three times (lol).
It's a fusion of art and an aquarium, and it was a very relaxing space👍
You can get there from Sannomiya and Motomachi stations, but it's a little far from both💦 I felt it was a little closer to go from Motomachi station.
But it's within walking distance, so I recommend it! There is also a restaurant nearby where you can see the fish swimming, so you can enjoy your meal in a romantic atmosphere❤️

This was a fun and enjoyable park. The ferris wheel was big and colourful. It is also a world famous port for cruise ships.
Rinkailand is located on the harbor edge of Kobe Port. It has both indoor and outdoor playgrounds with a large number of entertainment facilities. The outdoor one is dominated by the famous mosaic Ferris wheel, while the indoor ones are mostly electronic amusement rides. It is very good and very popular among young people. It is worth a visit.

Nankinmachi (なんきんまち) is the common name for a narrow area between Motomachi-dori and Sakaemachi-dori in Chuo-ku, Kobe City. More than a hundred years ago, after the opening of the port of Kobe, Japan, the Chinese brought Chinese food from afar and formed the Nankinmachi Market, which is the predecessor of Nankinmachi. It is also a registered trademark of the Nankinmachi Shopping Street Revitalization Association.
It is actually Chinatown. I didn’t expect to see Shaxian snacks while walking in it. There are all kinds of Chinese snacks on the street. There are many varieties and the business is booming. There is a long queue in front of a steamed bun shop. People line up in two rows in an orderly manner across the road. It is still a very lively place.
