The 24th floor of Kobe City Hall is a great place to get a bird's eye view of the entire city center, especially in the evening. Kobe City Hall is located on Flower Road, just south of JR Sannomiya Station and the observation floor is free to visit. Next to Kobe City Hall is Higashi Yuenchi Park, which features a permanent earthquake memorial monument dedicated to those who lost their lives in the Hanshin-Awaji earthquake. This photograph was taken on January 17, 2011, which marked the 16th anniversary of the quake, and the date is actually made of thousands of candles.
Photograph is my entry for this weeks Show-Me-Japan (Vol.1 Issue 10).

ReplyDeleteI used to live in Nara a couple of months after the earthquake and had friends whose relatives lost their lives. I visited Kobe couple of times when it was still a disaster.
