Minato-no-mori Park, Memorial park in Chuo Ward, Kobe, Japan
Minato-no-mori Park extends over 2 hectares with landscaped areas, walking paths, green spaces, and recreational facilities for outdoor activities and sports.
The park opened on January 17, 2010, as a tribute to commemorate the recovery efforts and lives lost during the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.
The name combines 'minato' meaning port and 'mori' meaning forest, reflecting the connection between community protection and environmental preservation.
Located 15 minutes southeast of Sannomiya Station, the park operates 24 hours daily and includes facilities such as skate parks, basketball courts, and running tracks.
Palm trees and specific greenery throughout the park serve as living symbols of Kobe's recovery and growth following the devastating earthquake.
