Cut [Kobe, Japan]

Back in 1995 a massive earthquake occurred near Kobe's city center. The port of Kobe was one of the world's busiest ports prior to the Great Hanshin earthquake, but despite all rebuilding activities, it has never regained its former status. Meriken Park, located in the port city and home to the Kobe Maritime Museum, the Kobe Port Tower and the Kobe Meriken Park Oriental Hotel, has now become the most popular spot for tourists in Kobe's port area.
