Kobe Gaslight Street〜Harbor Road Keyaki Trees

Popular Harborland. The city is covered in illuminations from dusk.

100,000 LED lights illuminate the 700m long gaslight street and rows of zelkova trees. The harmony of the light with the gas lamp creates a more romantic atmosphere.
“Harbor Wink”, which turns off the lights one minute before 20:00, 21:00, and 22:00 and then turns them back on, is also popular!
It’s a moving moment when the cityscape, which is momentarily quiet, suddenly bursts into light.
You can take a walk while looking at the soft light of the gas lamps, the illuminations of the street trees, and the night view, or enjoy a leisurely meal at one of the restaurants that are open until late.
Why not enjoy the romantic illumination created by beautiful lights at Harborland?

Nishinomiya Shrine is a shrine located in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, and is the head shrine of the approximately 3,500 Ebisu Shrines nationwide.
