Kobe Maritime Museum.

The museum is in Meriken Park and is “dedicated to the history of Kobe as a port city”.

“Kobe Maritime Museum opened in 1987 to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Kobe’s opening as a foreign Treaty Port in 1868 at the end of the Edo Period of Japanese history. The exterior architecture of the museum is designed to look like the sails and rigging of a sailing ship.”
