Approximately 30km west of Osaka. Kobe was one of the cities as a cosmopolitan port city. While the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake diminished much of Kobe's prominence as a port city, it remains Japan's fourth busiest container port. The city is the point of origin, namesake of Kobe beef and one of Japan's most famous hot spring resorts, Arima Onsen. Every December, Kobe held a light festival Kobe Luminarie, commemorating the Great Hanshin earthquake. (Light Festival: Dec. 6-17, 2012) 7
