Adjacent to the Port of Kobe is a two square mile island name Port Island. After 15 years of construction, the land opened in 1981. Since then, it has welcomed industry plus hotels and attractions such as the World Memorial Hall on the left. This arena is a multiple-purpose venue for sports, conventions and tradeshows. Next to it is the Port Island Sports Center. This facility features several swimming pools. One of them becomes an ice rink in the winter.
