KOBE (8) - PORT OF KOBE EARTHQUAKE MEMORIAL PARK


We paid a visit to the Port of Kobe Earthquake Memorial Park, near Harborland.

The devastating earthquake took place on Tuesday, January 17, 1995, at 05:46.

The earthquake caused great damage to the Meriken Park.
The authority preserved the collapsed pier and tilted street lamps at the time of aftermath of the earthquake so as to allow visitors to witness the intensity of the tremor.

There is an exhibition space nearby, displaying photo panels of the earthquake and other articles in relation to the damages caused by the earthquake.
There is also a video and display panel showing the effects of the devastating earthquake.
