Kobe: A City of Unexpected Natural Beauty

When I first thought of Kobe, I pictured a bustling metropolis. However, since moving here, I've discovered just how rich in nature this city truly is. Having mountains close by naturally means abundant nature. Parks near the mountains are lush with wildlife.

Recently, I took my child to a park and saw a molehill for the first time. I suppose one could actively look for molehills, but finding one without even trying is a testament to the area's richness in nature.


Although it might be hard to see, this is a photo of a molehill.

Head a bit south, and you'll find the sea. On holidays, many people enjoy fishing there. It's bustling with people arriving by bike or scooter, so no need for long car rides.

Where I grew up, fishing required a significant investment of time and money, making it a somewhat exclusive hobby. But in Kobe, it's a casual activity that anyone can enjoy.

Despite being close to nature, Kobe isn't rural. Life here is convenient, and I find it a very livable city.
