Famous as a symbol of Kobe, the Kobe Port Tower is a 108 m-high landmark tower located in Meriken Park. The world's first building to feature a pipe structure, it was nicknamed the Steel Tower Beauty as a result of its unique structure and shape, reminiscent of an elongated Japanese drum, and was awarded a prize by the Architectural Institute of Japan in 1963.

Capital city of modern Japan and unlike other countries, this is one capital that when travelers came to would not leave in a hurry to other better place or off beaten tracks. Tokyo itself has so much charm and hidden delights that many travelers stay for a long time to discover and experience it all. Head to Shinjuku to be awed by the skyscrapers across the skies or over to fashion streets like Harajuku or Shibuya to see youth of today displaying the trends and styles of modern Japan. After that stumble over to Ginza neighborhood that is well known as a shopping paradise else if that is not your thing, then old-style temple district may be just right for you. In the morning head to the bustling Tsujiki fish market for the an early breakfast of the freshest sashimi and sushi in Japan. Regardless, Tokyo is one capital city that defies the stereotype and is actually worth visiting just for itself.
