A new post with an outdated photos of my stay in Hyogo Prefecture 3 years ago. During the 3 week stay for a training under the Youth Leadership Programme sponsored by JICA, I have the chance to visit several places of interest in the Kansai region of Japan for the very first time (at that time, year 2008). With a three weeks stay, definitely, I'm still having lots of photos to be blogged.
For starters, this post will mainly be about the visit to the Port of Kobe during the winter night of 2008.
The Kobe Port Tower, is a hyperboloid 108m structure in the port city of Kobe, Hyogo. With an observation deck, the tower completed in the year 1963 and is similiar to the Sydney tower. During the night, it is decorated with lights all over uniquely.
Below are the photos of Kobe Port Tower from different angle
Close-up 12x zoom, from here it looks like it's a miniature scaffolding of the tower, but it's not and it's for real :D
Side winder perspective
Meriken Park of Kobe
The Meriken Park consists of Kobe Port Tower, Kobe Maritime Museum, and a memorial to victims of the Great Hanshin earthquake.
A ferris wheel and A restaurant called Mosaic / or several restaurants with amusement parks. I went into one of the amusement center and I spent 5000 yen at that time (USD50) playing the catcha...crazy eh? and luckily I've got the adidas golden ball..At least it's worth it.
The whole area with reflections of beautiful lightings, too bad that the sea was not really calm at that time. Thus, no perfect reflection like this posting in Kyoto.
That's me on the right with my two great Malaysian friends, Pak Zam and Pak Raj aka bird lover. really 1 Malaysia.
That's one of the coolest hotel design in Kobe, the Oriental Hotel
A beautiful crystal chandelier inside the Oriental Hotel dedicated to my readers :D.
Be back for more :D
