A beautiful tower in Kobe, Japan. This is a signature of Kobe well you must resist when you can to Kobe. It's easy to access by public transportations.

Admission fee was about 800 yen, which is not bad. This can also be bundled with the Maritime Museum and you can save. There are 5 levels to the tower you can roam around. At the top, you can see a great view of the harbor. It's not a super high tower. It's a good spot to chill and watch the sunset.

The most gorgeous views I ever seen from the towers. The front view is a port of Kobe with the ocean, boats and islands. Back view is mountains full of greens and houses, and all together have perfect view down the Kobe city buildings. Believe me Kobe is beautiful than Osaka view. Also in the last floor you'll buy suveniers and surprise balls. This is must visit place in Kobe

Standing at approximately 108m, the red Kobe Tower stands tall amongs the vast blue sea and the surrounding white buildings - giving the landscape a nice kaleidoscope of colours. We didn't manage to go in as were short of time, but just being here is enough to feel Kobe's vibe.

The Port Tower was closed for renovation so check before you go there (October 2023). The port area is really beautiful. Especially in the night time.

As of Feb. 2024, the tower is closed due to major renovations. It’s a pity I went there explicitly and didn’t check before.

Amazing view from top of the tower. You can spend the time as long as you want at the top of Tower. Having drinks at the bar lounge at top of tower with great view of both the city and sea is great experience.

Beautiful tower with a great view. Nice photo spot in Kobe.

A must visit at Kobe. Noted, the tower is currently under maintenance, so it’s unlucky we could’ve see the beautiful red landmark. I would like to visit it again once the maintenance is done in 2023.

Here is a nice spot to sight the view of Kobe city near the sea shore. The tower will be closed soon for big renovation and it is expected to be finished 2 years after. I went here yesterday but it was so crowded since today is the last operation day. The last time I was here I don't know when.

Nice tower💕 ✔I ordered nothing, just enjoying the view. The colour of tower is red, so eye catching. I have no time to get closer. Just enjoy from a far. ✔The atmosphere was calm, the wind make more comfy and peaceful... ✔The service was great, place was so clean👌

Not particularly impressive. But the lights are pretty at night. I prefer a sunset-evening visit.

The tower offers nice views of the city and the wider bay area. There are two observation decks both with are contained in the tower- at no point do you go outside. The higher deck also provides maps of what you are looking at in English and Japanese. The maps also have buttons which can be pressed so as to gain more information on the sites. There is also a revolving sake restaurant in the middle of the tower for those who want a drink.

Awesome View! Kobe port tower gives an breathtaking view of Kobe city and the surrounding mountains it's good to be there just before dusk as you can see the day time view and also the night view as it gradually gets dark outside. Even the adjacent marine museum is a place worth visiting.

Need to buy tickets on ground floor. Then to go first floor to take elevator. The guide in the elevator would describe the tower to you. Awesome scene, last year we enjoyed the "rotation cafe" in the middle of the tower. It was round moving 360° for 15 to 20 min one cycle around. However, this cafe is closed... Not sure it re-opened or not now. There is penny coin machine, remember to bring some coins to go there or to use their coins exchange machine. Remember to make your own memorial coin. Telescope & gift stall there. Enjoy.

It was closed for renovations on january 2024. 🥹 I want to visit it next time I came to Kobe! The surroundings are incredible, by the way: large space by the sea, soft music playing on the background.

Kobe port tower is currently closed. But you can always visit surrounding for beautiful view.

The Kobe Port Tower is a landmark in the port city of Kobe, Japan. The sightseeing tower was completed in 1963 and was temporarily closed from late 2009 to April 28, 2010 for renovation. It is located in the Central District, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The structure resembles a tsuzumi, or elongated traditional Japanese drum, and the narrow middle section of the tower looks as though it's been pinched, giving it the shape of a hyperbola. Kobe Port Tower in the port of Kobe city, Hyogo Prefecture has the same shape. It is formed with straight pipes but the entire shape is a Hyperbola. This is a board made up of vertical and horizontal lines. Cells of the board were replaced by rubber. Designed by the Nikken Sekkei Company, the tower's unique shape was inspired by a tsuzumi, a traditional Japanese drum. It is 108 m tall, and comprises 8 layers, the top being a 360-degree observation deck which is open to tourists and provides impressive views of Kobe.

The Kobe Port is under construction in the late of Mar’23 so please consider to include it into your itinerary to Kobe.

Nice view in the night....you can see the Kobe port's tower with you spouse....its so romantic....if you go there at noon you van also enter the Kobe Maritime Museum....Its recommended for sightseeing.....

Very nice place to visit and have good memories. It has a great atmosphere mostly in the evening, there are different places to see and many fun activities taking place. It's a good place to hang out with friends or even alone. Taking the fact that it's has no entrance fee, so the experience will be really worth it. Highly recommended.

COBE is beautiful but park is expensive. And this year tower is Repear we can’t see

Iconic tower of Kobe with a beautiful view of the bay and a nice area for a walk. I liked the view during sunset.
