Tools: send an e-card • map • download this photo • share this
A view on American Hatoba as seen from Kaigandori. The sign on the building on the right says “baggage keeper.” The road surface shows multiple tire grooves of jinrikisha (rickshaws), a silent witness of how busy the pier was. For more information about American Hatoba and Kobe Harbor, see Kobe 1910s • Steam Launches.
