The Kobe port is absolutely an iconic and magnificent place! A must go in Kobe.
The fact that you can get this close to waterfront is amazing. The vigorous vitality of marine transportation and shipment is also spectacular.
Even just walking around, without visiting multiple museums around the port area, is extremely impressive.
Daytime view bears very different charisma from the night time view.
Definitely should come here in different times within a day.
Many local people are jogging around the whole port area, both daytime and night time, which also is a lovely view.
Taking the boat is very different from just viewing from the shore. If you plan to take it, make sure to check timetable on the official website first.
