    This is a memorial monument located in the park of Higashi Yuenchi Park. The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake occurred at 5:46 a.m. on January 17, 1995.No matter how many years have passed, the sadness of losing a loved one is painful regardless of age, and life is precious. I think. Every year on the day of the earthquake, many citizens participate in the memorial service. The names of those who died in the earthquake are engraved in the basement of a nearby fountain, which serves as a meditation space. Kobe Luminarie is held as a symbol of Kobe's recovery, and is crowded with many people during the event. We do not know when disasters such as earthquakes will occur, but we hope that the peaceful days we live in casually will continue forever, and we pray for the repose of the souls of those affected.

    (Translated by Google) "Monuments of Memorial and Reconstruction" are to remember the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and convey the progress of reconstruction to future generations. It was established on January 16, 2000, for the purpose of memorializing the victims, encouraging citizens, and appealing the significance of reconstruction through solidarity on a global scale against large-scale disasters. Funding is covered by donations. There is a "meditation space" in the basement of the memorial and reconstruction monument, where the names of those who died in the earthquake are engraved. (Original) 「慰霊と復興のモニュメント」は阪神淡路大震災を記憶し、復興の歩みを後世に伝えること。そして、犠牲者の慰霊と市民への励まし、大規模災害に対する世界的規模での連帯による復興の意義をアピールすることを目的として平成12年1月16日に設置されました。資金は募金によってまかなわれています。慰霊と復興のモニュメントの地下には「瞑想空間」があり、震災で亡くなられた方々の名前が刻まれています。

    (Translated by Google) In the midst of the corona wreck, on January 17th, the 27th time, I visited after midnight, Since I have an underlying disease, Avoid contact with many people On the 17th, I went to 🙏 with my hands together at the right time, If it were true, it would be nice to light the bamboo lanterns on time with the candles that everyone shared, put their hands together and pray silently, but due to the corona disaster, the next few years will come at a time when it will not be popular. I will, Last year I couldn't put it in the place where the names of the victims are lined up in the basement, This year, the guard said, "It's okay to come in." I got down to the basement and was able to read sutras❗ But why is it raining on January 17th? At least a little bit of snow would be nice, PS Thank you to those who take care of us every year!! ️🙏 Thank you very much!! ️ Of course, don't forget to donate. (Original) コロナ禍の中、27回目の1月17日、0時過ぎに来訪、 基礎疾患の有る我が身なので、 沢山の人との接触を避け、 17日になって直ぐの時間帯に手を合わせ🙏に行きました、 本当なら、定刻に、皆で分かち合った蝋燭の火で竹灯籠に火を灯し、手を合わせて🙏黙祷をすれば良いのだが、コロナ禍の為にこの数年は人気の無い時に来てます、 昨年は地下に有る、犠牲者の名前の並ぶ所には入れて頂け無かったが、 今年はガードマンが、どうぞ入って頂いて良いですよ❗って言って頂けたのたで、 地下に降りて、読経する事が出来ました❗ でも、1月17日のこの日って、どうして雨が降るのでしょうね❓️ せめて雪だと少しでも良いのですが、 PS毎年御世話されてる方々に感謝申し上げます‼️🙏有り難う御座います‼️ 勿論、募金も忘れずに続けてます。

    (Translated by Google) Quite an impressive space. The slope that runs all the way from the entrance to the basement seemed to spatially express the deep sadness at the time of the earthquake. And when I reached the amazing space where the bottom of the pond becomes the ceiling, it was finally lit up, and I was sober. (Original) 꽤나 인상적인 공간. 입구에서부터 지하로 쭉 이어지는 슬로프는 대지진 당시의 깊은 슬픔을 공간적으로 표현한 것 같았다. 그리고 연못 밑바닥이 천장이 되는 놀라운 공간에 다다르면 비로소 환해지는데 절로 숙연해지고 말았다.

    (Translated by Google) It's a lovely park and memorial. I pray for the repose of the souls of those who died in the earthquake. I am grateful for the happiness that I have now, as I feel like I am tightened by the photos of the earthquake and the names of the deceased. There are people of all ages in the park, and I am deeply moved by the contrast between the pictures of the tragic disaster and the peace of today. I stumbled upon it while taking a walk, and I highly recommend it. (Original) 素敵な公園であり慰霊碑です。震災で亡くなった方のご冥福をお祈りします。 震災の写真や亡くなった方のお名前一つ一つに締め付けられるような思いになり、今ある幸せに感謝します。 公園には幅広い年齢の方がおり、悲惨な被災時の写真と今の平和のコントラストに胸を打たれます。 散歩途中に偶然辿り着きましたが、勧めたい場所です。

    (Translated by Google) put it in the fountain. like in water It's like a hidden basement It was a strange space. A rich park where people in the city spend their time It's sparkling. when you go underground A line is drawn from the hustle and bustle of the city, creating a solemn atmosphere. A perfect space to pray. It is a spot that symbolizes Kobe, where the hustle and bustle and repose of souls are united. Gassho. (Original) 噴水の中に入れます。 水の中のようであり 隠れ地下室のようでもあり 不思議な空間でした。 街の人々が思い思い過ごす豊かな公園 キラキラしています。 地下に潜ると 街の喧騒から一線が引かれ荘厳な空気となります。 お祈りするには完璧な空間です。 喧騒と鎮魂が一体となった神戸を象徴するスポットです。 合掌。

    1.17 Light of Hope, a place to remember the Great Hanshin Earthquake which happened at January 17, 1995. This light of hope also becoming one of the spot for installation of the light during Casa Armonica 2022. Many people were usually gather here, bring lantern and wrote their hope for the past earthquake. There is a nonstop fire which symbolizes for the hope. This place also near a famous park, Higashi Yuenchi park. I came here at night during the Casa Armonica.
