We introduce you to a tour of Kobe, one of Japan's most famous port cities, where you can capture some of the most beautiful scenery!
The city of Kobe developed rapidly from a farming village with sprawling fields as the Port of Kobe was opened in the modern era and trade with foreign countries began.
The city topography limits the amount of land you can live on due to the proximity of the sea and mountains, and the buildings are lined up along the slopes.
Looking out to sea, cruise ships and transport ships come and go, and unique buildings such as the Port Tower and Harbor Land attract the eye in the harbor. Many tourists come to Kobe to enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you look towards the mountains, you will find many Western-style buildings that are deeply influenced by foreign cultures, and walking the streets will make you feel as if you have gone back in time.
Why don't you join us for a photo tour that will leave you with memories of your visit to Kobe?

옛것과 현대적인게 잘 어우러져 있고 일본의 고유적인것과 외국의 문물이 섞여 조화를 이루고 있는 화려하면서도 슬픈 과거를 안고 있는 도시 입니다.
지진의 아픔을 딛고 일어나서 해안을 잘 정비해놓고 많은 공원들을 잘 조성해놓은 게 인상적으로 다가왔습니다
