History of Kobe Port Tower
Actual size

Kobe Port Tower was completed on November 21, Showa 38 (1963).
It has the serious unique form which carried out the form of the hard drum.
this form -- apparently -- instability -- although it looks right [ that ],
the shake of that magnitude 7 on the Japanese scale has not collapsed at all, either
The very good design to say is carried out.
It is the suggestion of also getting a passenger to look down on and enjoy the harbor in Kobe
to the American wharf in Kobe from the first,
It seems that it became the present form as a result of trying many things.
It is large-playing an active part as the symbol of Kobe, and a face of Kobe
indispensable to a night view now.
