    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. "
  • 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.

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
