Kobe Flower Clock, Floral clock in Chūō-ku, Kobe, Japan.

The Kobe Flower Clock is a circular floral clock with a 6-meter-diameter face tilted at 15 degrees, set on a mound in Higashi Yuenchi Park. Its face is planted in bands of flowers, with stainless steel hands: a 260-cm minute hand, a 310-cm hour hand, and a 310-cm second hand. A low metal fence and a ring of dwarf lilyturf surround it.

Mayor Tatsuo Miyazaki proposed Japan's first flower clock in the early 1950s, inspired by the one he had seen in Geneva's English Garden while still deputy mayor. Funded largely by donations from citizens and local firms, it was donated to the city and started on the morning of 26 April 1957 beside the fourth City Hall. Moved about 500 m south to the southern end of Higashi Yuenchi in 2019, it restarted there on 28 March 2019.

The flower beds are replanted about eight times a year, with pansies and daisies in spring, coleus and begonias in summer, and ornamental kale in winter. Designs are chosen from public submissions roughly four times a year, and daisies and small chrysanthemums are favoured because pigeons damage them less.

The clock now stands at the southern end of Higashi Yuenchi, about 500 metres south of City Hall, where it was moved in 2019. Its face is tilted 15 degrees on a mound, so it reads best from the south slope. The surrounding lawn is the site of the Kobe Luminarie each December.

The clock's stainless-steel hands are oversized: the minute hand is 260 cm long and weighs 16 kg, the hour hand 310 cm and 20 kg, and the second hand 310 cm and 8.2 kg. The dial is 6 m across and tilted 15 degrees, planted on a mound-like slope.
