"Kobe, rediscovered"
Today, the eighth stage of the series, we will deliver the view from the Kikuseidai of Mt. Maya.

In the vicinity of the previous "Kobe Sakura Tunnel", which climbed uphill, there is a Maya Cable station.
This cable car and the Maya ropeway further up are called the Maya View Line, and you can reach the top of Mt. Maya by connecting the two.
There is an observatory called Kuseidai (本星台), and below you can see a 10 million dollar night view from downtown Kobe to Osaka Bay and the city of Osaka on the opposite bank. The word "scooping up the stars" means "scooping up the stars," and the name comes from the fact that the countless lights of the night view are likened to stars, and you can look down at the stars that you can scoop with your hands.

This photo was taken just before dawn, when the eastern sky was beginning to be tinted with sunrise, and I tried to scoop up the stars that fell from the night sky to the ground, but instead I was buried in the stars.

The summit is about 700m above sea level and there is a temperature difference from the city, and the air is very fresh! !!
On this day, I climbed the driveway, and it seems that you can ride the Maya View Line with a bicycle using a bicycle bag. You can also rent an electric assist bicycle at the top, and you can go to Rokko Ranch.
