The "KOBE MARITIME MUSEUM", which features a large roof with a white space structure evoking the image of sails of a sailing ship running through the vast ocean and sea waves, opened in 1987 to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the opening of the modern Port of Kobe. Then reopened in 2020 under the theme of "the journey of Kobe and its port". Here visitors can explore the structure of ships, the charm of cruise ships, port facilities, and by seeing how the port has been transforming through "exhibition of real objects", "diorama models", "videos" and "graphics", they're introduced in an easy-to understand manner to the "past", "present" and "future" of the sea, ships and ports. Adjacent to the museum is the "Kawasaki Good Times World" which opened in 2006, a corporate museum of Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group that has worked hand in hand with the port of Kobe since its opening.

Himeji City Museum of Literature was established in April 1991 as part of the celebration of the centennial of the foundation of Himeji City to remember literary figures associated with Himeji and the rest of the Harima area, collect literary materials, encourage research and study of literature, and serve as a center of literary activities.
Located northwest of Himeji Castle, a National Treasure, the museum buildings were designed by world-renowned architect, Tadao Ando. The impressive appearance of the buildings is a pleasant addition to the historical district.
The North Wing houses the "Gallery to Trace the History of Himeji Castle" that offers visitors insights into the history of Himeyama Hill where Himeji Castle is located and stories associated with the castle, and the "Forest of Words Gallery" that introduces the appeal of writers and their works through their words, while the South Wing has the Ryotaro Shiba Memorial Room. These exhibitions do not just showcase literary materials, but they impress visitors with their unique approach to literature.
In addition, the museum offers a diverse range of information through special exhibitions, lectures and events.

The better the quality of the carpentry tool, the greater is the likelihood that it will be used until it wears away and disappears. Moreover, technological development during the post-war rapid economic growth as exemplified by the spread of machine lumbering and electrically powered tools, has resulted in a dramatic decrease in carpenters who use hand tools.
The Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum was opened in 1984 in Nakayamate, Kobe, as the only museum of carpentry tools in Japan, with the objective to collect and conserve such disappearing tools as a cultural heritage, and to pass them on to the next generation through research and exhibitions.

More than 35,000 pieces of materials have been collected so far. We have been involved not only in conserving remarkable tools from the past, but also in holding diverse events such as exhibitions, lectures, seminars, classes outside of the museum, and workshops, to convey the skills, wisdom, and spirit of the people who make masterful use of tools, as well as the resulting architecture and the culture of wood that surrounds it.

In autumn 2014, the museum embarked on a new chapter, relocating to a location near Shin-Kobe Station that has strong ties with Takenaka Corporation.

Japan is a nation of monozukuri (making things). Carpentry tools contain within them the characteristic aesthetic sensibilities and attention to detail of the Japanese people. We aim to be a place for coming into contact with tools to make new discoveries, and for providing new stimuli to the traditional way of making things.
