Background & story
Kobe's port has been a gateway since the 1868 opening to foreign trade; the modern Harborland and Meriken Park areas turned its waterfront into a beloved leisure and night-view spot.
Good to know
Best after sunset; pair it with the nearby Nankinmachi Chinatown for dinner, or time a trip with the winter Kobe Luminarie.
