It has been 15 years since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake occurred early in the morning of January 17th, 1995. We report on reconstruction in Kobe and show you the city as it is today.
Special Edition/Kobe City Central Wholesale Market
The Kobe City Central Wholesale Market sells fresh food from both all over the country and all over the world. Auctions are held one after another from early morning, and fresh food is delivered to shops, mass retailers and restaurants. Last spring extensive renovations were completed and Honjo was reborn as a more hygienic and convenient market. Let’s take a look at the bustling morning market scenes and some of the typical agricultural and marine produce of Kobe.
