Kobe, officially Kobe City , is the capital city of Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. With a population of around 1.5 million, Kobe is Japan's seventh-largest city and the third-largest port city after Tokyo and Yokohama. It is located in the Kansai region, which makes up the southern side of the main island of Honshū, on the north shore of Osaka Bay. It is part of the Keihanshin metropolitan area along with Osaka and Kyoto. The Kobe city centre is located about 35 km (22 mi) west of Osaka and 70 km (43 mi) southwest of Kyoto.
Reading Kobe against the global hubs: Tokyo (~420 km), Singapore (~4,929 km), Dubai (~7,574 km) are the close ones, with São Paulo (~18,764 km) sitting on the opposite side of the planet — a good gut check when judging logistics windows.
Kobe sits inside Giappone — the Eastern Asia subregion, capital Tokyo, languages Japanese, currency JPY (¥).
The closest mapped neighbors of Kobe are Ashiya (12 km), Nishinomiya (14 km), Akashi (17 km), Takarazuka (20 km), so commuter, logistics and same-day-trip planning will usually pull from this cluster.
