The Nagata Ward area of Kobe is a vibrant district with a rich history of craftsmanship. An interesting local fact is that the area is famous for its production of Kobe beef sandals (a traditional craft, not the steak). For a major tourist attraction, residents are within easy reach of the iconic Kobe Port Tower and the scenic Meriken Park waterfront area, offering stunning views of the harbor and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.
