It’s a beautiful city surrounded by the sea and the mountains and The street pattern of Kōbe reflects its location between the mountains and the bay: main streets run east-west, crossed by short north-south streets. The coastline has been altered by reclamation for port facilities and industries. The central shopping street, Motomachi, runs between the city’s two major railway stations, while the central business district is near the harbour.
