 | | Squeezed between Mount Rokko rising in the north and the shores of the Seto Inland Sea to the south, Kobe stretches some 29km (18 miles) along the coastline but in many places is less than 3.2km (2 miles) wide. |
 | | The next stop on the JR line from Motomachi Station is Kobe Station, just south of which is Harborland, a waterfront region with hotels, restaurants, and the colorful Mosaic outdoor restaurant and shopping complex. |
 | | Called HAT Kobe (an abbreviation of Happy Active Town), it's a mixed-use neighborhood of apartment complexes, research facilities, schools, and museums, including the new Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution, which chronicles the Great Hanshin Earthquake. |
