Saudi Sportive: Kobe

Kobe Japan

Kobe is the capital of Hyogo Prefecture and one of Japan’s ten largest cities. Situated between the sea and the Rokko mountain range, it is widely regarded as one of the country’s most attractive cities. Kobe has served as an important port for many centuries. In the 19th century, its harbor was among the first in Japan to open to foreign trade, together with Yokohama, Nagasaki, Hakodate, and Niigata. In 1995, Kobe was struck by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, which killed more than 5,000 people and destroyed tens of thousands of buildings. The city has since been completely rebuilt, and today there are few visible traces of the disaster.
