5th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, Regional Coast Guard Headquarters in Kobe, Japan.

The 5th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters in Kobe is an administrative facility overseeing maritime safety and operations across a wide region. It manages emergency responses, search operations, and coordinates activities with multiple branch offices throughout seven prefectures.

The headquarters opened on 1 May 1948 as the Kobe Maritime Safety Headquarters, alongside the founding of the Maritime Safety Agency. It took its present name on 1 June 1950, when the agency moved to a regional system. Its survey department became the Ocean Information Department in 2002 and its lighthouse department the Traffic Department in 2003.

The headquarters' name is abbreviated as Gokan, or Gokan Honbu, and its English name is 5th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters. In March 1950, during Emperor Showa's postwar tour of Naruto in Tokushima Prefecture, the internal motorboat Akishimo served as the imperial vessel during a salt field inspection.

The facility can be reached through the nationwide maritime emergency number 118 for urgent situations. Visitors should know that this is a working administrative center and may have limited public access.

The Osaka Bay Marine Traffic Center, which guides ships through one of Japan's busiest waterways, moved from Awaji Island to Port Island in Kobe on 23 March 2023; its new building is nicknamed "Marine Tact KOBE". The headquarters also keeps five aircraft: two fixed-wing Saab 340B planes and three helicopters.
