Day 1 - Japan Trip 2008 - Kobe Port - Meriken Park and its surrounding




Meriken park is a waterfront park, in Kobe Port area. The park was destroyed in 1995 by the Great Hanshin Earthquake, but is now fully restored and has become a major attraction of the city for tourist, as well for local people.

Japan coast guard cruise embarked at Kobe Port.


Kobe was Japan's busiest port and one of Asia's top ports until the Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred. Kobe has since dropped to the fourth in Japan and thirty-eighth busiest container port worldwide (as of 2005).Lots of interesting sculptures and monuments here.
