Good places to visit in Kobe: Mosaic Square Ferris Wheel

The Mosaic Ferris Wheel, located in Kobe Harborland, decorates the port with colorful lights and has become an important local landmark. In the past, I only saw it from afar, but this time I actually took a ride on it and it was nice to appreciate the night view of Kobe Port from a different angle. Umie, a famous shopping mall near Kobe Port, is divided into three areas: Mosaic, South Plaza and North Plaza. The Ferris wheel is located in the Mosaic area and is said to be a popular spot for couples to date. The ticket price is 800 yen per person, and foreign tourists with passports can enjoy a 200 yen discount. A full circle takes about 10 minutes, and this is another popular facility for enjoying the night view of Kobe Port.

Kobe Port Tower was built in 1963. It is 108 meters high and is the world's first steel tube observation tower. It is mainly red in color and has symmetrical hyperbolic lines. The color and design of the entire port tower are very fashionable and modern, making it one of Kobe's most important landmarks.

The interior of Kobe Port Tower is divided into three floors on the ground and a five-story observation hall. The observation hall adopts a 360-degree viewing design. Looking west, you can see Harborland, which is the Ferris wheel, and the famous shopping malls - Mosaic Plaza and umie department store. To the north, you can see Sannomiya, Motomachi, and Mt. Rokko; to the east, you can see Meriken Park; to the south, you can see various small boats and cruise ships preparing to sail at the Kobe Port.

There are many popular check-in spots here, such as the Kobe Port Lighthouse, the Maritime Museum, the Hydrangea Bell and the Starbucks Merken Park store. You can also see the romantic Kobe Port Concerto cruise ship. Many couples go on dates and take the Ferris wheel to kill time while waiting for the ship.
