Visit Kobe Port Tower


Kobe Port Tower, residing in Kobe Harbor, offers spectacular views from its observation deck and cafeteria. This landmark has been a popular tourist destination for decades, but is not particularly over-crowed or busy inside.

The unique structure features prominent lattice piping that is illuminated at night. If possible, try to visit the tower during sunset for a most memorable occasion.

Inside the tower you’ll find a revolving cafeteria. This is an excellent spot to order a snack and rest your feet. Although there are higher observation decks above, the lower floors usually have less people and may actually offer a better vantage point for looking out over the harbor and back towards the city.

Kobe Port Tower charges 600 yen for admission and is opened every day of the week. The tower is within walking distance of Motomachi Station, which is serviced by JR, Hankyu and Hanshin train lines.
