(Translated by Google) It is located in the cosmopolitan city of Kobe. This Center for Overseas Migration and Cultural Exchange was a former overseas migration center, and was the place where those who wish to move would undergo a final check on their health. He also learned language learning (Portuguese, Spanish, English) for a short period of time according to the destination. There are many Japanese and Nikkei overseas now, but the birthplace of overseas migration is here in Kobe, and all overseas immigrants have traveled from Kobe Port to the world. The road leading from the south side of this center to the harbor is also known as "immigrants". At that time, all of them were by sea, but when I left the country, I looked back from the ship, and the last mountain I saw in my home country was Mt. Rokko. My ancestors, who also have roots in Portugal 🇵🇹 and England 🇬🇧, are the ones who emigrated to Japan. When I think about my own ancestors, I can understand the feelings of those who have traveled abroad. Although it has passed the 100th anniversary of overseas migration, there are exhibitions by age and destination country from modern to modern times, and reproduction of the inside of a traveling ship. There is also an exhibition of which areas of Japan have the most immigrants, and it is interesting to know the vitality of that area. Admission is free. Worth a look.

■Kobe City Overseas Immigration and Cultural Exchange Center A former overseas immigration facility located in Yamate, Chuo Ward, Kobe City. Exchange center for Brazilian immigrants. immigrant community. [History] In 1928, the National Immigration Camp was opened. In 1971, emigration to Brazil via immigrant ships from Kobe ended. In 2009, the "Kobe City Overseas Immigration and Cultural Exchange Center" opened. The building was also preserved as the only existing immigration-related facility in Japan. There will also be a ``Migration Museum.'' ●The former National Immigration Camp was built on a hill overlooking the port of Kobe. A facility where you can stay for about a week and prepare for migration before you leave. After completing its original purpose, the building was given a new role and use. General tours are welcome and a place of learning.

1999-2007 CAP HOUSE appearanceIn November 1999, the NPO Art and Planning Council (CAP) commissioned by the city of Kobe began its activities as an art space based on the idea of ​​"artist in registration (artist with life)". The bedroom of "Immigrants" has been revived as an atelier where artists are engaged in creative activities, and various public events such as exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and forest schools were held as well as creative activities. At the same time, the Kobe Emigration Reference Room was set up on the 1st floor, and the 4th floor became an activity base for the Kansai Brazilian community. Looking back on the history of immigrants, support activities for Nikkei have begun. As these activities continued, voices calling for permanent preservation were raised from local Japanese organizations in Brazil, and the National Overseas Nikkei Kaikan Promotion Council was established with the Japan-Brazil Association as the center, and the prefectures and cities were established. Discussions involving the country and petition to the country were developed. 2007-2009 In 2007, with the cooperation of the national and prefectural governments, the city of Kobe decided to preserve and redevelop the building of the former Kobe Migration Center. Construction was declared on April 28, 2008 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the migration to Brazil, and construction began in May of the same year and was completed in June 2009. The opening ceremony was held on June 3, 2009, and it has three functions: "Plaza for embarking on hope and the unknown," "Plaza for coexistence with multiculturalism," and "Plaza for creation that makes the most of art." It started as a cultural exchange center.

海外移住と文化の交流センター。兵庫県神戸市中央区山本通３丁目１９−８。トアロード北詰を西に山麓線を歩くと右手に建物が出てきます。移住ミュージアムが併設され、無料で利用することが出来ます。以前から、前を通る度に気になっていたので、今回は中に入ってみました。神戸から南米への移住の歴史に関する展示が主なものです。写真や映像、物品、模型などが展示されており、スマホなどで解説を聞くことが出来るようになっていました。平日だったので、来館者は見かけませんでしたが、時間があれば移住の歴史を覗いてみるのもいいと思います。

September 7, 2023 I was very satisfied because I was able to learn about the history here, which was more moving than I expected. It was just a coincidence that day, but I was able to meet someone who had moved to Brazil but now lives in Kobe, and I was able to talk to him about various things from back then, and I was able to take a commemorative photo with him, so I'm just so grateful. Also, since it was a weekday, there weren't many people watching, and the staff spoke to me very kindly and politely. Thank you very much for that section.

A very good place to study history of Japanese migration.

Great place for people who are immigrated to overseas.

This was once the last accommodation when moving overseas. It is now on display in a renovated facility. I stopped by to learn about the past history. Well, I don't think this is a facility that people purposely visit.

Small, cozy museum, free admission. Located in building formerly used to process and hold emigrants before leaving Japan for various South American countries, of which Brazil was the most frequent. Informative photo and poster exhibits are written in Japanese, Portuguese and English. Upstairs bedrooms were recreated. Exhibits are unstaffed. They include oral history interviews of descendants stillliving in Brazil and film taken in the 60s and 70s of emigrants leaving Kobe. The presence of staff or volunteer docents would make viewing the exhibits immensely more meaningful and valuable to visitors. Uncertain if emigration records are available upon inquiry. A must visit for anyone with relatives who emigrated from Japan to South America.

*Tá rolando exposição da turma da monica até 28/08* It's free and it's a good place to know about the history of emigration of Japaneses to many countries, specially to Brazil, which is the biggest population of descendants in the world.

Check out this good museum in KOBE

There is a Philippine Community Group inside this building.
