Kobe Port Island Bicycles

Kobe Port Island神戸ポートイランド自転車

Port Island is a manmade island in the harbor of Kobe, Japan.

It is literally a world apart.

It is home to a large expatriate population, the elite Canadian Academy school, a German school, and many shopping malls and highrise apartments.

On a visit to the Kobe Fashion Museum, we kept an eye out for bike and cyclists.

Compared to other urban spaces in Japan, it was pretty bleak. Though the streets are wide and traffic relatively light, there were not many cyclists on the ride.

こんにちは 久しぶりです
Long time no drop by.

神戸行かれたんですね、僕も神戸は街中で自転車が少ない気がしました

I felt the same situation when I visited Kobe.

かえるのガードは僕もこの前見ました:)

I also found the frog guard.
