This festival is held in early December to remember the 1995 Hanshin earthquake and to pray for blessings. The sparkling lights symbolize hope for the people of Kobe. It’s really moving.

The view from the stage is super open and wide—on a clear day, every shot looks great.
The old streets around it are really fun to wander, but the crowds are no joke. If you want photos without people, be prepared.
Still, it’s absolutely worth visiting at least once. -

The aquarium faces the Sea of Japan and is surrounded by nature. There's a fun dolphin show and a seal feeding time—both are must-see events!

At Tanesashi Coast, you can check out all kinds of beautiful scenery—breeding grounds for black-tailed gulls, rocky shores, sandy beaches, and natural grasslands. Super cool spot to explore!
