What to do and see in Kinki, Japan: The Best Observation Decks & Towers

August 27, 2021 Augustus Redeker

The Kansai region (関西地方, Kansai-chihō) or the Kinki region (近畿地方, Kinki-chihō) lies in the southern-central region of Japan's main island Honshū. The region includes the prefectures of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo and Shiga, sometimes Fukui, Tokushima and Tottori. While the use of the terms "Kansai" and "Kinki" have changed over history, in most modern contexts the use of the two terms is interchangeable. The urban region of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto (Keihanshin region) is the second-most populated in Japan after the Greater Tokyo Area.

It’s definitely a great place to go if you want some good views of Osaka. Definitely worth the price of admission. Going during the day is great, but go in the evening for dope night views!

Kobe Port Tower

Reviewed By weinyc - Forest Hills, United States

The Port of Kobe is a maritime port in Kobe, Hyōgo in the greater Osaka area, backgrounded by the Hanshin Industrial Region. It’s one of the five biggest International trading ports in Japan and was built over one hundred years ago. The views of nightlight is astonishingly beautiful, especially the Kobe tower, which is the most famous landmark in Kobe. It is a great place for dating since there were also shopping malls, cafe and restaurants...etc around the port.
