Kobe, Japan - Port of Kobe Earthquake Memorial Park HD (2017)
Kobe (神戸市 Kōbe-shi, Japanese: [koːꜜbe]) is the sixth-largest city in Japan and is the capital city of Hyōgo Prefecture. It is located on the southern side of the main island of Honshū, on the north shore of Osaka Bay and about 30 km (19 mi) west of Osaka. With a population around 1.5 million, the city is part of the Keihanshin metropolitan area along with Osaka and Kyoto.
The earliest written records regarding the region come from the Nihon Shoki, which describes the founding of the Ikuta Shrine by Empress Jingū in AD 201. For most of its history, the area was never a single political entity, even during the Tokugawa period, when the port was controlled directly by the Tokugawa shogunate. Kobe did not exist in its current form until its founding in 1889. Its name comes from kanbe (神戸), an archaic title for supporters of the city's Ikuta Shrine. Kobe became one of Japan's 17 designated cities in 1956.
Kobe was one of the cities to open for trade with the West following the 1853 end of the policy of seclusion and has since been known as a cosmopolitan port city. While the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake diminished much of Kobe's prominence as a port city, it remains Japan's fourth busiest container port. Companies headquartered in Kobe include ASICS, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Kobe Steel, as well as over 100 international corporations with Asian or Japanese headquarters in the city such as Eli Lilly and Company, Procter & Gamble, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Nestlé. The city is the point of origin and namesake of Kobe beef, as well as the site of one of Japan's most famous hot spring resorts, Arima Onsen.

As a giant candle lit up in ruin, The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Memorial Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution, called Kobe Earthquake Memorial Museumas short name, was born to commemorate more than 6000 souls lost in the worst earthquake in Japan disaster fighting history. The nightmare rushed in Kobe on 5:46 am of January 17th 1995, ripping the city heart by the intensity of 7.3 richter, plunging the area in a devastated collapse. All the important constructions, large structures and the basic composition of harbor area were destroyed, followed by the tumble of nearly one kilometers of main arterial system.
Seven years later in 2002, Kobe Earthquake Memorial Museum was established following the purpose of handing down the experience of the earthquake to younger generations of Hyogo prefectural government. Over years, the museum seems to well carry out the mission of building disaster management culture and reinforcing local capacities in reducing disaster risk, becoming a global center for research of disaster risk management. In the close relationship with many relative organizations around the world, the museum is a key center of information on disaster risk management, providing expertise and information regarding action, aid, volunteer workers organizing and other issues organizing.

Through the glass layer, visitors will be led into a large atrium to watch a 3D film reappearing the disaster in about just 7 minutes with simulated sound and effect like you are truly going through this horror. In next space, feeling turns to watching, as ruin of the earthquake are reconstructed to create a lively scene of devastated streets. You will also know the way Kobe raised the city up by recovery and reconstruction through documentary. The whole picture is drawn lively and truly making you numbed with scared and pitiful. The upstairs are exhibition space of life saving equipment and supplies donated by foreign governments. The short tour inside Kobe Earthquake Memorial Museum is not only the tour of memory but also the way to express sympathy, compassion as well as admiration to Japanese pain and courage.
