Like most of the Japanese cities, Kobe looks great from above - I was amazed by this spectacular view from the 90-meters tall observatory of the Kobe Port Tower.
The white steel-lace roof is the Kobe Maritime Museum and the park surrounding it is the waterfront Meriken Park.

A fun fact, the name of the park, “Meriken", is a transformation of the word “American", dating from the Meiji period.

The tall building on the left is the Hotel Okura and in the background you can see the Kobe Port Terminal and the red Kobe Bridge:
