ABOUT
About Hyogo Ward
Hyogo Ward of Kobe was formed in the 1945 reorganization of wards, and its port, improved by Taira no Kiyomori, once served as a base for trade with Song China. Since the prefectural office was placed at Hyogo Castle in 1868, it is the place that gave Hyogo Prefecture its name. The ward office is a 3-minute walk from Minatogawa-koen Station on the subway in Aratacho.
