Suma-ku

Suma-ku spans 30 square kilometers along Osaka Bay, featuring northern residential zones and southern coastal areas with beaches and marine attractions.

The ward emerged during the late 19th century modernization of Japan, developing from a coastal settlement into an integral part of Kobe city administration.

The Suma Beach location holds literary importance through its mentions in classical Japanese works like Ise Monogatari and Genji Monogatari.

The Suma-ku ward office handles essential administrative services including address registration, tax matters, and seal certification for local residents.

Suma Aqualife Park combines an aquarium with marine research facilities, educating visitors about sea life through interactive exhibits and tanks.
