At a Glance
Kobe Harborland is a waterfront shopping district in Chuo ward, Kobe, on the shore of Osaka Bay. It was built on about 23 hectares that once held the Minatogawa freight yard of the national railways and several shipyard and factory sites. The freight station closed in 1982, redevelopment began in 1985, and the district opened in September 1992.
The project opened a stretch of port waterfront that ordinary citizens could not previously reach. Large commercial complexes such as Kobe Mosaic stand here, and the Duo Kobe underground mall links the area to JR Kobe Station. Across the water at Meriken Park are Kobe Port Tower and the Kobe Maritime Museum. The district won the 1993 Ishikawa Prize from the City Planning Institute of Japan and was chosen among Japan's 100 Urban Landscapes.
