KOBE-HYOGO

Kobe was until 1892 the foreign port of the adjoining town of Hyogo and was opened to foreign trade in 1868, and in 1899 the two towns were incorporated under the title of Kobe City, when the City Municipal Law was put into force. The port is finely situated on the Idzumi-nada, at the gate of the far-famed Inland Sea. The harbour is good and affords safe anchorage for vessels of almost any size. The two towns face the landlocked water covered with white sails, while behind, at a distance of about a mile, rises a range of picturesque and lofty hills, some of which attain an altitude of about 2,500 feet, and the steep sides of which are partly covered with pines. Kobe and Hyogo stretch for some three miles along this strip of land between the hills and the water. The Foreign quarter at Kobe is well laid out; the streets are broad and clean, and lighted with gas. The Bund has a fine stone embankment and extends the whole length of Kobe. The foreign houses are neatly built, and the Sannomiya railway station, within three minutes' walk of the Concession, has a very English look. The railway terminus is at the other end of Kobe, where it meets Hyogo, and there are extensive carriage works adjoining the station. There are two Clubs-the Kobe Club (British) and the "Club Concordia” (German). At Mirume the K. R. & A. C. have a fine boathouse and large lawn for all kinds of sports, while commodious chambers have been erected. The Union Protestant Church and a French Roman Catholic Church are in what was formerly termed the Concession. A new English Episcopal Church, All Saints, was opened in 1898 on the Hill behind, and there is also a native Protestant Church in Kobe town. There are two foreign hotels in the business part of the town-the Oriental and the Great Eastern. Two foreign daily papers, the
