		You don't visit Kobe for the sights, which are of limited interest, but more for its human scale, dramatic location on a sliver of land between the sea and Mount Rokko, its cosmopolitan atmosphere and great range of food.
		Although Kobe has almost totally recovered from the 1995 earthquake, that made headlines around the world, it has far from forgotten this horrific event; one of the city's most interesting recent "attractions" is the Kobe Phoenix Plaza, which documents the quake and its aftermath.
		You'd be better served pushing on up Mount Rokko, or taking the cable car (known in Japan as a ropeway), for a spectacular view of the city and bay.

	3. Symbiosis
		The distance between the Rokko mountain range and the sea is not very great, the land is steep sloped, and groundwater runs in layer coarse gravel near the surface.
		Because of this, despite its proximity to the sea, salt-water infiltration is not a problem and, in fact, many residents and some parks use well water.
		Depending on the time on day, there can be gentle winds from the mountains or from the sea, and, at times, storms blow down from Mount Rokko.
