Kobe Harbour with Mavic Pro
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Japan's sixth largest city, Kobe is a seaport town lying on the north side of Osaka Bay on the southern side of the island of Honshu. Considered part of the greater Osaka area, Kobe is Japan's fourth largest seaport as measured by freight volume. In this video, contributor Styfly Studio uses a DJI Mavic Pro drone to take us on an aerial tour of Kobe. You'll get a bird's eye view of this important (and very old) seaport, whose harbor is dotted with artificial islands to increase the city's useable land area.

History
Port of Kobe from the sky
In the 10th century, Taira no Kiyomori renovated the then Ōwada no Tomari (大輪田泊?) and moved to Fukuhara (福原?), the short-lived capital neighbouring the port. Throughout medieval era, the port was known as Hyōgo no Tsu (兵庫津?).
In 1858 the Treaty of Amity and Commerce opened the Hyōgo Port to foreigners.
After the World War II pillars were occupied by the Allied Forces, later by United States Forces Japan. (Last one returned in 1973.)
In the 1970s the port boasted it handled the most containers in the world. It was the world's busiest container port from 1973 to 1978.[1]
The 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake diminished much of the port city's prominence when it destroyed and halted much of the facilities and services there, causing approximately ten trillion yen or $102.5 billion in damage, 2.5% of Japan's GDP at the time. Most of the losses were uninsured, as only 3% of property in the Kobe area was covered by earthquake insurance, compared to 16% in Tokyo. Kobe was one of the world's busiest ports prior to the earthquake, but despite the repair and rebuilding, it has never regained its former status as Japan's principal shipping port. It remains Japan's fourth busiest container port
