Kobe

SanNoMiya (Kobe) station

Ikuta Shrine in Kobe is possibly among the oldest shrines in the country. According to Nihon Shoki, it was founded by the Empress Jingū at the beginning of the 3rd century AD.

Kitano-chō (北野町) or Kitano Ijinkan (北野異人館) is a historical district in Kobe, Japan, which contains a number of foreign residences from the late Meiji and early Taishō eras of Japanese history.

 Kobe city center is beautifully rebuilt after the big earthquake in 1995. Today Kobe looks like one of the most fashionable cities in Japan (or in the world?)
