Å@The disaster area centering on Kobe is located between mountains and the Setouchi sea. It has been famous as Minato-cho(port town) for a long time. The eastern part of the city prospered from a Japanese sake (rice wine) brewery, and the western part from the local industry of chemical shoes manufacturing. It is a convenient area where access to railroads and main roads run from east to west and it is of scenic beauty. Due to these factors in addition to a mild climate, it is a popular residential area. Kobe Y.W.C.A. is located in the eastern part of Kobe.
