If you did not arrive in Kobe aboard a passenger ship but want the experience, then book a room at the Kobe Meriken Park Oriental Hotel. Not only are these luxury accommodations shaped like a ship, but it is surrounded on three sides by the sea … perfect to enjoy from your balcony. It is located at the end of Naka Pier so you can also be bedazzled by the nighttime lights of Meriken Park and Kobe Port.
