The square near Sannomiya Station has long been the meeting spot for people going into downtown Kobe. No matter what day of the week, there is always someone sitting on one of the hills, excitedly waiting for a friend, family, or someone special. During the day, it is a safe meeting spot; by night, it's the kingdom of Kobe youth. On weekends, there are always bands set up in a circle, each politely waiting their turn as another plays. The crowds of people chat, listen, and wait. It's an exciting spot to start your journey in Kobe!
