Nagata-ku

Nagata-ku is a south-west Kobe district known for its community rebuilding after the 1995 earthquake, the giant Tetsujin 28 statue in Wakamatsu Park, and local food such as sobameshi. Nagata Shrine is also a notable stop for cultural tours.

Pickup points and meeting tips

  • Shin-Nagata Station (JR, Subway) is the closest point for the Tetsujin 28 monument.
  • Nagata Station (Subway, Kobe Rapid) is near Nagata Shrine.
  • Event venues should specify their loading entrances.

Vehicle access

Shopping streets are often pedestrian-only and narrow; vans have more flexibility. Coaches use main roads for pickup and drop-off.

Confirm loading zones for event groups.

Luggage
