Kobe is an important port city with 1.4 million people. Although smaller than neighboring Osaka, it is the largest container port in the entire region. Kobe suffered a massive earthquake several years ago that caused millions of dollars in
damage and took several thousand lives. But the city is largely rebuilt and has taken
steps to make repaired and new buildings more resistant to quakes.
Kobe is considered a very cosmopolitan city with people from many countries both living and visiting there. There are many foreign restaurants and there is a large
Chinatown.
