That we had not yet discovered any long sights of Kobe, showed the present day. Firstly, we wanted the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge view from near and the other a grave mound was named Goshikizuka-Kofun on our afternoon program.
Even after leaving the train at the Akashi-Kaikyo bridge , I looked really, of what a building it represented and it was impressive to imagine what an effort had been driven to this, have built to date, the longest suspension bridge.
Of course we wanted to look at it more accurately, and so our course led directly to the Visitor Center: After we bought our admission tickets, we took the elevator all 8 floors up, until we arrived at the track.
From there, led tubes similar programs under the bridge along. While we were there, ran along, we noticed a tremor which the vehicles on that we produce and I did not want to imagine how it would go here if the earth would begin to shake, but I was on the other hand völig sure that I would be really safe here.
Finally we reached a small launch, of which we had a nice view over the coast and the sea. I admit, was very pleasant for me that to be found on this day were hardly visitors.
Then you could disappear into another tube, and there seem to have even further to the architecture itself. Scary in this tour were the places where glass plates were inserted into the ground.
Here we looked directly down on the feet across the water. When I looked towards clearly, I was a bit dim, but otherwise I was surprised at myself that I did almost nothing.
Before we finally towards the grave mound rose up, we explored in our way from the bridge (that Gab was reported to map only a stone's throw away), which was not easy because the grave hid himself admirably behind one of the various skyscrapers.
Thus equipped, we went out and approached the grave remarkably safe. Only shortly before reaching confusions came to smaller, because the roads were very twisty, small and poorly Manageable. But an inconspicuous sign, of course, in Japanese, helped us further.
It was then, as in all the sights we had previously visited, we saw Goshikizuka-Kofun only if you stood directly in front. It was well hidden among the surrounding buildings.
Although a hill on a hill, maybe not so exciting seems to be, and whether the information that it is the greatest 40's grave mound of Japan, necessarily attracts tourists like, I doubt it.
I definitely enjoyed the visit and looked at the system and let my gaze wander over the surrounding houses and the sea. I was certainly glad that we had after the discovery of the tomb is restored.
From the grave, we wanted the fastest way to the main road and then to the train station. Our road here was in our view not necessarily have been the shortest path, so we focused directly towards the main road.
That would save us but we can, because every time we landed in some dead ends and I wondered whether the people here had to take even more huge detours to leave their neighborhood. I could not clarify this question. We had finally had no choice but to run back empty-handed as the same way.
