KOBE

Kobe was until 1892 the foreign port of the adjoining town of Hyogo and was opened to foreign trade in 1868, but in 1889 the two towns were incorporated under the title of Kobe City, when the City Municipal Law was put into force. The reclamation of the bed of the Minatogawa River in 1910 and the extension of the tram- way service have resulted in the disappearance of the old boundary line between Kobe and Hyogo. Hyogo, therefore, is now inerely one of the administrative sections of Kobe. 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, but to extend the facilities for loading and discharging an extensive scheme of harbour improvement was begun in 1907, and most of the larger shipping now moors at the four large Customs piers. Further works are in progress, the harbour rapidly growing towards the east. The town faces the land-locked 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 3,000 feet, and the steep sides of which are partly covered with pines. On one of these hills, Rokkosan, are a number of foreign residences, the place having become a favourite summer resort. The summit of this hill has been well prepared for the purpose, several miles of excellent paths making walking on the hills easy and enjoyable. Among
