KOBE

The Temple of Nofukuji, which possesses a, large Bronze Budda, is situ- ated in the old town of Hyogo, and is worth a visit; and there is a monument. to the Japanese hero Kiyomori, erected in 1286, in a grove of trees in the vicinity of the temple, which claims some attention from its historic asso- ciations. The bed of the old river Minatogawa was reclaimed in 1910. The upper part of the reclaimed area is now known as Minatogawa Park, where there is a large market. The lower part of the river-bed is a centre for public en- tertainments, such as theatres, cinematographs, etc. The shrine dedicated to Kusunoki Masashige, who fell on this spot in 1336 during the unsuccessful wars for the restoration of the Mikado's power, stands between Kobe Station and Okurayama Park, where there is also, a large City Library. In the park Stands a bronze statue of the late Prince Ito, who was one of the most influential and powerful statesmen of Japan in the Meiji period.
