Kobe Luminarie had been refraining from attending during the coronavirus pandemic, but they have expanded the number of locations and changed to a distributed Luminarie. The Port Tower, which has undergone earthquake-proofing work, can be seen, and Kobe is back! That's what it feels like. Everyone, please come and check it out.
Ikuta Forest is located in the precinct of Ikuta Shrine. Here's said to have become a field of Gempei Battle(Genji-Heike War), but now, it's popular as a spiritual power spot. Many people enjoy water-lot and get some advices for good marriage.◎Receive water-lot at shrine office and bring it to Ikuta Forest.

A dome-shaped observatory made of Japanese cypress that looks like a work of art on Mt. Rokko. The appearance is also nice, but if you go down the stairs to the basement, there is a wind room that is the trunk of the observatory. The inside of the Rokko Shidare tube is as cold as a cave, and the wind seems to play music. When you look up, it's a wonderful space with fantastic light coming in.

A museum located at Kyomachi, a more sophisticated area in Kobe. It has many exhibitions whose themes are international exchange and something blue. Please appreciate Kobe's constant quest for beauty.◎The building was designed by Kotaro Sakurai, a great architect in Showa era, and used as a bank. The entrance of doric order with a column and the spiral staircase are especially beautiful.
It's called 'Uroko (scale) House' because the natural stones of wall look like scales. This house standing on a hill like a castle is where you can't miss in Kitano. Many antiques of MEISSEN and TIFFANY are displayed in the house.◎Entrance fee: 1051yen

The sea and mountains are both near the stations, which is the attraction of Kobe. It's famous for four waterfalls, but if the fifth one 'Gohon-matsu no Kakure-daki' springs out, you're very lucky. Let's hike to complete all of the falls when the dam is flooded such as the next day after raining!◎The fist pic: On-taki Second: Gohon-matsu no Kakure-daki Third: Men-taki The others are Meoto-daki and Tsuzumiga-daki. You can use ropeway to climb, and enjoy hiking to go down!
