Viewpoint
What makes this place special?
At a Glance
Kobe Port Tower’s red lattice rises above the waterfront, with indoor observation floors and an open-air rooftop overlooking the harbour. Its upper levels combine city views with a light-themed museum, a gallery and a revolving café-bar.
Choose between an observation-floor ticket and a ticket that also includes the rooftop. The roof is reached by stairs from the fifth observation floor and may close in bad weather. The lower shops and restaurants have separate hours and do not require the observation ticket; allow time according to the floors and refreshments you choose.
