The City
Kobe's sights are split into three main areas. South of the band of rail lines passing through Sannomiya Station, Kobe's focal point, is the city's commercial centre covering the old settlement area and, to the west, Nankin-machi , Kobe's Chinatown. Immediately south of here are the harbour developments of Meriken Park, Kobe Harbor Land, Port Island and Rokko Island. North of Sannomiya Station lies Shin-Kobe Station and Kitano where the ijinkan (foreigners' houses) dating from the turn of the twentieth century (most reconstructed after the 1995 quake), are clustered on the slopes of Maya-san. For the best view of the whole city and the Inland Sea, take the cable car up Rokko-san.
