This area still keeps its reputation for about 140 years that “The most well designed beautiful town as a foreign settlement in the East” quoted from “The Far East”, and Enlglish paper at that time.

Kobe’s unique and sophisticated culture has been formed by Kobeites who have been good at taking over something brad new from abroad, like fashion, sweets, music, etc.

The essentials of Kobeites are the style to select the valuable things and enjoy them in their way.

Culture

You can not miss Nanjing Town, only China town in Kansai district. Tourists are fascinated by Chinese restaurants, variety stores in this town. In the past, this is the area where Chinese people used to live because they were not permitted to live in the foreign settlement area.

Not only from China and Western countries, but also from all over the world, so many people have been moving into Kobe. For those people from various back grounds,the unique infrastructure has been developed in this broad-minded city of Kobe like diverse religious facilities; Christian churches and chapels, Muslim mosques, Chinese temples, Synagogues, Jaina temples.

For children’s education, there are eight international schools in Kobe. About 2,500 foreign students are studying at Canadian Academy, St. Michael’s International School, German School, Kobe Chinese School and other international schools.
Regarding medical care, over 160 hospitals in Kobe are able to offer foreign language speaking service. Not only English, but also German, Chinese, etc are available at those hospitals, which support foreign residents’ health care.
There are so many international communities with both historical background and modern groups in Kobe; Western oriented, Indian, Chinese ones, social gatherings, and sports clubs.
This is why Kobe is called “International city”. We have various communities and well-thought infrastructure for citizen’s life.
Also, Kobe has a good reputation in the world. Kobe was ranked the 25th city as one of the world-cleanest cities on FORBES, American economic magazine on the web as of April 16, 2007.

Nanjing Town
In the aspect of medical care, Kobe possesses more than 160 medical institutions with bilingual doctors. Aside from English, there are institutions accepting French, German, and Chinese speakers. Kobe has an environment to support safe and healthy lives of people from many different backgrounds.
Numerous international communities such as European, Indian, or Chinese social and sports communities are present as well. These supportive and friendly living environment to foreigners are one of the reasons why Kobe is known as an international city.

Future

Through a strategy as a tourist spot, Kobe has succeeded to have tourists by its unique culture filled with exotic and beautiful scenery in towns. On the other side, Kobe tries to attract companies with a different strategy of special tax deduction or rent preferences. Especially 100 world-famous, foreign-affiliated companies have their head offices or branches in Kobe now, because of the convenient livable place that has nice educational environment and also advanced projects held over the city of Kobe.

Kobe has been carrying out some major projects for the purpose of economic and industrial promotion as the following:

-“Kobe Medical Industry Development Project” to integrate medical industries
-“Shanghai & Changjiang Trade Promotion Project” to deepen communication and trade with China
-Some other projects like “Kobe RT”, “Structural Reforming Special Area”, “Kobe ICT Promotion” and so on.

Particularly, “Kobe Medical Industry Development Project” targets to integrate medical industry onto the 2nd stage of Port Island, and to organize the area as a base of research and promotion of advanced medical technology. “Highly Advanced Medical Center” as the core of all those facilities and some other main institutes have started their operations. Also, the world top level research organizations for regenerating medication, some universities and over 120 medical companies have already located in the area.

In addition to the above, 10 billion yen investment by SWF (well-known governmental fund of Abu Dhabi) is expected in Highly Advanced Medical Center. It will give another evolution to Kobe.
