Kobe Airport Island West Park

Tourist attraction Park

👍👍 This is an artificial beach where you can watch planes take off up close. You can see creatures such as the Ishida snail, small crabs, sea cucumbers, and sea lettuce, and you may even see some fish jumping around. There are covered benches along the coast where you can rest comfortably, but be aware... People often mention beach, parking, Kobe, people, prohibited, water, beautiful, small, good, Airport,

    This is an artificial beach where you can watch planes take off up close. You can see creatures such as the Ishida snail, small crabs, sea cucumbers, and sea lettuce, and you may even see some fish jumping around. There are covered benches along the coast where you can rest comfortably, but be aware that there are no vending machines or shops. Swimming is prohibited, and fishing and other forms of collecting living things are also prohibited. If you have sandals and a towel, there is a foot washing area, so I think you can do some light water play. Also, depending on the season, there may be free buses that run every minute of the hour. Bicycle parking is free, but there is a charge for bicycle parking. The entrance is hard to find, but it's inside the parking lot.

    Private beach! ? Although I wouldn't say so, there aren't many people and it has a calm atmosphere. Swimming is prohibited, so just dip your feet in it. The horizon line is covered with concrete so you can't see it. If you go out on the concrete sidewalk side, you can see it. I was surprised at how clear and beautiful the water was. Small fish are also jumping around, giving you a very natural feel. It may also be a good place for runners or road bikers to take a break or read a book. There is Kobe Airport next to it, but the noise doesn't bother me much, but I do hear the occasional sound of airplanes firing to prevent bird strikes. There is also a stylish wedding hall and restaurant next door. The food at Restaurant Pacha is delicious and reasonably priced, so I think it's a good idea to take a walk on the beach after your meal. For those using the restaurant, please use the parking lot of the wedding hall. If you only want to use the beach, there is coin parking.

    A small hidden beach with brilliant Kobe view!

  • 4/5 鍋嶋聡 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I left the entrance of Kobe Airport and walked west on a not-so-wide road (I learned later that there was a shuttle bus from the airport). It is about 1 km to the site. On the way, the vast field of Susuki that covers the airport island can be seen through the wire mesh. After walking for about 15 minutes in the monotonous view, a resort hotel-like facility (a wedding hall called Ravimana Kobe) suddenly appeared. While looking up at a stylish chapel-style building that does not look like a remote location, I aimed for a beach that seems to be behind. It was a little refreshing surprise that the dense bamboo grove was cut off on the premises, and at the same time, the blue beach, which looked like a stage set for a play, jumped into view. Two boys, about the size of an elementary school student, are playing at the beach (although there are almost no waves hitting them). The beach is surrounded by a paved promenade, giving an extremely artificial impression. After strolling around for a while, couples and families with toddlers in strollers came across three and five ... Apparently, it's not a "spot known to those in the know". The fact that there are many eastern houses and benches is that "please feel free to use it for vacations" ... (Original) 神戸空港のエントランスを出て、さして広くもない道路を西へ西へ歩いて向かった(空港からシャトルバスが出ていることは後で知った)。現地までは1キロ程度。途中、空港島を覆う広漠としたススキの原が金網越しに眺められる。 単調な眺めの中を十五分ほど歩くと、リゾートホテルような施設(ラヴィマーナ神戸という結婚式場)が唐突感を伴って現れた。辺鄙なロケーションに似つかわしくない、チャペル風の洒落た建物を見上げながら、裏手にあるらしいビーチを目指した。やがて敷地内に鬱蒼と茂る竹林が途切れると同時に、芝居の舞台装置のような碧い渚が視界に飛び込んできたのは、ちょっとした新鮮な驚きだった。 波打ち際で(といっても、打ち寄せる波は殆ど無い)小学生ほどの男の子二人が遊んでいる。ビーチは舗装された遊歩道で取り囲まれ、極めて人工的な印象。しばらく辺りを散策していると、幼児をベビーカーに乗せた夫婦や家族連れなどが三々五々おとずれてきた・・どうやら"知る人ぞ知るスポット"というのでもないようだ。 東屋やベンチが幾つも設けられているのは「どうぞご自由に行楽などにお使いください」ということだろう・・

    (Translated by Google) It is a quiet place where both family and lovers can come, with a beautifully constructed artificial coast (no swimming), unlike the urban air of Kobe. It may be far from the terminal or not well known, but there are few people, so there is always an impression that the bench (with a roof) is vacant. I sometimes go to weddings and feel relaxed. Since it is the edge of the airport island, you can see the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and the cityscape of Kobe. However, it may not be open on stormy days. (Original) 神戸の都会の空気とは一変、綺麗に整備された人工海岸(遊泳禁止)があり、家族でも恋人とも来れる静かな場所です。あまり知られていないのかターミナルから離れている事もありますが人が、少ないのでベンチ(屋根あり)はいつも空いている印象があります。たまに結婚式を行っており和やかな気分にもなります。空港島の端なので明石海峡大橋や神戸の街並みまで見渡せます。ただ、暴風の日などは開いていない場合があります。

    Nice place to come to watch planes take off and land from Kobe Airport. Man-made beach that's nice to hang out at with kids (no swimming allowed). Also a good place for birding.

    It's a spacious and very quiet place where you can relax except when planes are taking off and landing. It would be a good idea to buy a lunch box at the airport and eat it here while cycling. However, you cannot enter the parking lot as it seems to be closed except during business hours of the adjacent parking lot (10:00 to 17:00, only until 7:00 in July and August). Please be careful if you are thinking of seeing the sunset/night view.

  • 5/5 辻健一 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Because of the poor transportation, there are few people for the large area. I think it is a good place to have a lunch box and let small children play. However, since it is near the water, it is important for small children to keep an eye on it! (Original) 交通の便が悪いせいか広い割に人が少なく お弁当を持って小さなお子さんを遊ばせるのに良い所ではと思います。 しかし 水辺なので小さなお子さんはしっかりと見守ることが大切です!

  • 3/5 飛行機好きゆう 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was disappointed with the fence and glass of the statue of Kobe Airport and walked west for about 20 minutes to find an artificial sandy beach. I was able to take a picture of an airplane taking off and landing. Also, those who came by car were playing on the sandy beach. (Original) 飛行機撮りは神戸空港の像のおりフェンスとガラスにガッカリして20分近く西に歩くと、人口砂浜があり。 離着陸する飛行機が撮れた。 また、車で来ている方は砂浜で遊んでいた。

    (Translated by Google) You can only enter from 10 o'clock (cars can not enter the parking lot), so you can't make it in time for the training ship of the Japan Maritime Education Organization to enter Kobe Port! (The shooting point is perfect in the morning, so it's a perfect shooting point) I want you to open at 8:00. Discount for physically handicapped people at parking lots? I don't know how to do this! I think the aircraft is easy to see. (Original) 10時からしか入場できない(車も駐車場へ入れられない)ので、海技教育機構の練習船が神戸港へ入場する場合の撮影に間に合わない! (午前中は順光になるので申し分のない撮影ポイント) 8時には開場して頂きたい。 駐車場の身体障碍者割引?の方法も手順が判らない! 航空機は見易いと思う。

    It's a beautiful place, but there are a lot of prohibited things, so if you ask me if I want to park in a paid parking lot just for this plaza, I won't come (・´з`・)

  • 4/5 Mayumi �. 1 year ago on Google • 60 reviews
    You can see planes taking off and landing at Kobe Airport up close. You can also play in the water on the man-made beach, and there are benches placed here and there so you can take a break. There are restrooms near the entrance, but all of them are Japanese-style except for the multipurpose restroom. There are also no vending machines, so you will need to bring your own drinks. Parking lot costs 150 yen per hour. Anyway, the atmosphere is nice. It is recommended because you can see the boats passing through the Kobe sea through the wire mesh.

    (Translated by Google) A little-known spot ★ 4 Okinawa's private beach-like atmosphere reminiscent of Busena. Swimming and BBQ are prohibited, but it is a satisfying spot if you play in the water. Parking lot is priceless 😅 with 1h 150 yen Personally recommended spot (Original) 穴場★4 ブセナを思い出させてくれる、沖縄のプライベートビーチっぽい雰囲気。 遊泳やBBQは禁止ですが水遊び程度なら満足できるスポット。 駐車場は1h150円とpriceless😅 個人的にはオススメスポット

    (Translated by Google) A sandy beach with few people. Although it was an artificial beach, the water was beautiful. It is ideal for small children's playgrounds because it is like a pond with almost no waves. It is also GOOD that you can see an airplane up close! (Original) 人の少ない穴場的な砂浜です。 人工の砂浜ですが、水は綺麗でした。 波がほとんどない池のような状態なので、小さな子供の遊び場には最適です。 飛行機を間近で見られるのもGOOD!

    (Translated by Google) Retreaty, backyard-like sand beach. Let's have a role as atmosphere making wedding hall with a sense of southern country but let's take a leisurely walk, pick up a shellfish, jump around a wrecking block, see an airplane flying away from the airport, It is a perfect place for watching with Hello and for killing time like that. Concrete walls (embankment?) Can not see the sunset by the way from the sandy beach, but if you go over it you will be able to enjoy a view like a pleasure boat from Awaji to Kobe. There is a parking lot somewhat far away and it is convenient. Dangerous organism seems to be there, so swimming etc is prohibited (I actually saw it like that). I have never been to a late hour, so I do not know if parking lots are available at night or whether the atmosphere is good. (Original) 隠れ家的、裏庭的な砂浜。 南国感のある結婚式場の雰囲気作りとしての役回りもありましょうが、ともかくのんびりと散策したり、貝を拾ったり、波消しブロックを跳び回ったり、空港から飛び立つ飛行機を見送ったり、散歩中の大型犬をほへーと眺めたり、そんな時間つぶしにうってつけの場所です。 砂浜からはコンクリの壁(堤防?)が邪魔でサンセットを見ることはかないませんが、その上まで行けば淡路から神戸に連なる、さながら遊覧船からのような眺めを楽しむことができます。 若干離れたところに駐車場があり便利。 危険生物が居るらしく遊泳等は禁止(実際それっぽいのを見たこともあります)。 遅い時間には行ったことがないので、夜間は駐車場が利用可能か、雰囲気はどうかなどは存じ上げません。

    (Translated by Google) Visited during the Obon holidays. There were about three groups with small children, so it was spacious and relaxing. A little-known spot where you can relax by soaking your feet in the water, watching the planes flying up close. There didn't seem to be any vending machines nearby, so bring your own drinks. (Original) お盆休みに訪問。小さな子ども連れが三組ほどいたくらいで、広々、のんびり。波打ち際でちゃぷちゃぷ足を浸したり、間近に上がっていく飛行機を眺めたり、のんびりできる穴場。 近場に自販機はないようだったので、飲み物の持参は必須。

It's a great place to have a picnic, as there's a toilet and tap water where you can wash your feet after playing in the sea! Not only red rays and jellyfish, it's delicious if you eat it, but be careful with the attack of the blue crab, a great guy! (Original) 遊泳禁止のビーチです。 サイクリング、ランニングの休憩にも使えます。 駐車駐輪スペースもあります。 トイレや海で遊んだ後に足を洗える水道もありピクニックに最高の場所です! 赤エイやクラゲだけじゃなく食べれば美味しいけど挟むと凄い奴、ワタリガニの攻撃にも気を付けましょう!

    This park is at the end of the road when you drive west from the airport. You can enjoy the resort feeling by changing into your beach shoes and entering the resort.I think it's the best place to assemble the sunshade and have lunch or a nap. It's irresistible to anyone who loves airplanes
