Kinseidai, Observation deck in Suwayama Park, Kobe, Japan
The Kinseidai observation deck stretches along the elevated section of Suwayama Park, providing views of Kobe's harbor, urban districts, and mountain ranges.
The observation point emerged during Kobe's modernization in the Meiji period, marking a shift toward recreational spaces integrated with urban development.
Local residents gather at Kinseidai throughout the year for seasonal celebrations, community events, and traditional Japanese festivals within Suwayama Park.
Visitors can reach Kinseidai by taking bus number 7 from Sannomiya station or walking thirty minutes from Kencho-Mae Station on the Kobe City Subway.
The Venus Bridge connects to Kinseidai with a ninety-meter loop structure, where couples place locks at the Love Lock Monument near Venus Terrace.
