Visitors to the Kobe Overseas Chinese History Museum can rediscover the local history of Kobe from a Chinese perspective. Gain deep insights into how the Chinese immigrants to Kobe behaved, and how their culture developed following the opening of Kobe's port in 1868, thanks to valuable photographic records, documents, calligraphic works, paintings and other pieces of art. The unique exhibits shed light on the hitherto little-known story of how overseas Chinese played a key role in helping Kobe develop as a venue for international trade.
