Christmas tree of Kobe Meriken Park

I would like to inform 30m high Christmas tree at Meriken Park.

Get on at JR from Osaka, get off at Kobe Motomachi station and walk to the south for about 15 minutes and arrive at Meriken Park.

The tree of Asunaro of 150 years of age in Toyama prefecture is cut down from the root and the Christmas tree carried to Kobe, is rising.


There is a Starbucks next to the tree, and tourists are lining up.
From here you can watch the tree with coffee.


This tree is not covered with many decorations like ordinary trees, tree leaves are
light up and colored.
Lights start at 17:30, and it is crowded with tourists.



This tree is also like the Hanshin Awaji great earthquake disaster version of Iwate prefecture that remained in the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Why this event cut down trees at Toyama prefecture.
I think, it is better to plant trees that live near Kobe's disaster area, and use this live tree every year at Christmas tree.

But, setting the tree in Meriken Park make travelers to see the wonderful landscape of ​​Kobe.
So many travelers are visiting this tree.

There is also "tunnel of aerial plants and light" in front of the tree.


Lights will be held until 12/26.
Please visit this Christmas tree with warm clothes.
