- Hyougo Pref. Asagoshi Ikunochoukono 33-5
- This historic site is in Ono, Ikuno-cho, Asago City. Silver was discovered at the location in 807, and it played an important role in funding the shogunate during the Edo period (1603-1868). The Ikuno Silver Mine closed in 1973 and was re-purposed as a tourist facility. Today you can learn about the history of mining at the Mine Reference Library and the Cultural Museum of Ikuno Mine, and there are about 1,000 meters of mine tunnels you can tour, as well as other courses outside the tunnels.

古来からの歴史ある銀山で、受付後先に資料館で学習してから坑道に入りました。江戸時代など昔の掘削の様子も再現されていますが、閉山直前の機械を使った掘削の様子も再現されていて見応えがありました。近代の産業遺産としても見学おすすめです。

- Hyougo Pref. Koubeshi Tarumi-ku Goshikiyama 4
- "This keyhole-shaped kofun tomb, built in the latter half of the fourth century, is the largest in Hyogo Prefecture. Also known as ""Sentsubo Kofun"" (Tomb of 1,000 Pots), the kofun is located a 10-minute walk from JR and Sanyo Electric Railway Tarumi Station. Mentioned in the ""Nihon Shoki,"" Japan's oldest historical anthology, the tomb is situated on land overlooking the Akashi Strait, a maritime traffic route, and it is thought that it is the grave site of some influential person who was deeply connected to sea traffic. The tomb was restored to look as it did when first built via a restoration project which started in 1965 and took 10 years to complete, and visitors can see for themselves the advanced ancient civil engineering which went into its construction."

異人館三館セットで入館。いわゆる、はく製の館だ。まず入って、身の丈２ｍを超える大きなシロクマにビックリ！ ヘラジカやトナカイのはく製が壁から飛び出る姿にも驚きだ。二階の展示では、青いメタルカラーのような大きな蝶がインテリア風に飾られている。生物室にあるようなアルコール標本がズラッと並ぶさまには、やや不気味さを感じる。一階への急な階段を降りると、昔の車庫を改装したお土産ショップで、神戸土産や英国館の...

- Hyogo Pref. Koubeshi Chuou-ku Kitanochou 2-18-2
- This is a building once used as the Chinese consulate of former Chinese politician Wang Chao-Ming, and is the only Western-style residence to be so full of Oriental flavor. The interior furnishings are all Chinese-made from the Ming to Qing dynasties, with a number of artworks displayed including celadon porcelain and Chinese ink paintings. There are many highlights such as the Western Zhou dynasty Hyakunyu Bunsho, which looks like a prototype of the Japanese Yayoi period dotaku vase, and a pair of dog statues famous as a power spot. The nearest station is Shin-Kobe Station.

- The Statue of Florence Nightingale
- Travel / Tourism
- Hyougo Pref. Kawanishishi Hanayashiki 1-24
- "It's next to Eikon-ji Temple Remnants Historical Park along the railroad tracks to the west of Kawanishi-noseguchi Station. Deeply moved by this nurse's commitment while being cared for in a Japanese Red Cross Hospital, Nakayama Tsuyu, the owner of the land, had this statue made in 1936. It's modeled after the image that stands at the entrance to The Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery at St. Thomas Hospital in London, making it only the second of its kind. The phrase "" Kanzeon to relieve the sufferings of the people "" is engraved on the pedestal, sending a message of benevolence and love for humanity. It's a popular spot for students studying to be nurses, and a festival to mark Florence Nightingale's birthday is held every May. "

- Kiyomorizuka
- Travel / Tourism
- Hyogo Kobe-shi Hyogo-ku Kiretocho 1-3
- This 13-tiered stone pagoda towers in the vicinity of Kiyomori Bridge. It stands 8.5 meters tall not including the finial on top and its first square tier has sides measuring 145 centimeters each. Said to have been erected in 1286, the pagoda was originally located to the southwest of its current location on a mound believed to be the grave of Taira no Kiyomori. The pagoda was relocated in 1923 due to the construction of the Kobe City Tram. At this time, it was discovered that the pagoda was not a grave marker but instead memorial tower. Next to the tower is a statue of Taira no Kiyomori by the sculptor Yoshitatsu Yanagihara, who was a Kobe native. Also nearby is the Biwazuka, a stone monument to Taira no Tsunemasa, a military leader who was also a master of the biwa lute. Many people come visit to see all three attractions.

- Site of Yukimi no Gosho
- Travel / Tourism
- Hyogo Kobe-shi Hyogo-ku Yukinogoshocho 2-1
- "This place is assumed to be where Taira no Kiyomori's residence stood at the end of the Heian period. Foundation stones and many pieces of earthenware and roof tiles were discovered in the schoolyard of Minatoyama Elementary School during its remodeling in 1908. Based on this fact, and the fact that the area was named ""Yukinogosho"" until the Meiji Period, it is surmised that this place was the site of an indescribably beautiful mountain villa and garden that were the epitome of extravagance. Taira no Kiyomori made Fukuhara his residence and base of operations around 1168. The site is marked with a stone monument created from a large stone thought to have been used in the construction of the residence's garden. It can be seen from the footpath to the north of the old Minatoyama Elementary School."

- Site of Kaibara Domain Encampment
- Travel / Tourism
- Hyogo Tanba-shi Kaibaracho Kaibara 683
- This historical site is located at 10-minute walk from Kaibara Station on the JR Fukuchiyama Line. The encampment served as the administrative headquarters of the Kaibara Domain. Its nagayamon gate, one of just a few surviving examples of feudal domain encampments remaining in Japan, is a national historical site. The palace was lost in a fire in 1818, so the nagayamon gate is the only remaining building from the time of the encampment's construction. Although the palace was reconstructed in 1820, most of it would be torn down after the Meiji Restoration, leaving only a small part of the palace standing today. The pantile-roofed palace and its cypress bark-roofed entrance have been preserved just as it was at the time of its reconstruction. It is possible to tour the interior of the palace.
