Workation in Kobe: the essentials

Hemmed in by the Rokko mountains and Osaka Bay, Kobe is a long, narrow city of about 1.5 million where a hiking trail can start at the end of a residential street. It grew up as a treaty port, and the merchant houses of Kitano still show it. Sannomiya is the transport and nightlife hub, Nada has the big sake breweries, and Arima Onsen lies just behind the mountains. Coworking spaces sit in the centre, Osaka is about 35 km east, and Kobe Airport occupies an artificial island about 7 km out. The 1995 earthquake destroyed much of the city, and part of the damaged quay is preserved as a memorial.
