One of the best city night views in the world!!! I've been to a lot of places but this is one of the most memorable nighttime views.
You could spend hours here. I wish they had some more food trucks or live entertainment normally. It would even be nice if they had a fireworks show.
Pleasant waterside park with various things to see and do. Also good just for strolling. Good for families and children. Small memorial covering the 1995 earthquake. Marine museum (also includes Kawasaki motorbikes and other forms of transport), tower, views of the sea, nice to have some sea air. A short walk from Chinatown.
A must visit spot when in Kobe. The Meriken park is located just by the seafront built on reclaimed land, including the iconic Kobe Port Tower and Be Kobe sign.
Prefect to visit during the evening just before sunset so you can enjoy stunning views and night time illumination of the tower etc. ✨
Visiting this spacious area in a hot day of Aug was really our regret that we couldn’t find its beauty there. Highly recommend to go evenings if summer or other seasons.
Visited this after sunset. Beautiful place all lit up by the port with a memorial with videos of the 1995 earthquake and the reconstruction of the port and so many buildings and homes in Kobe.
