Title:Are you moving forward?
Author:KURUMI
When you think of Kobe, you think of cafes, sweets, and bakeries. Trees are being planted around Sannomiya, and you can take a break on a bench in the shade of the trees. I like to go out alone, so I'm trying to decide which cafe to go to.
Once you've finished your shopping, choose bread or cake as a souvenir, depending on your mood that day.
Kobe offers new discoveries every time you walk around. There are things you can only buy here, so I keep coming back. That's also fun though.
What has become more convenient are the moving walkways installed in various locations. Move faster and more comfortably.
The city has become elderly-friendly.
At night, when it gets dark, there is a bright light under your feet so you don't trip.
Take a leisurely stroll through the Japanese garden, which has healing properties, and the English garden, where you can enjoy seasonal flowers, and you'll forget all the bad things.
If you're worried about something, try walking around the streets of Kobe. By the time I get home, I feel refreshed and refreshed.
For me who hates losing. From my future self.

Title:To me in 2024
Author:Rie Shigeoka
How are you doing? This year, I got married in Kobe with my favorite person. Why did I choose Kobe as the place for my wedding, even though I'm not from Kobe? That's because I fell in love with a certain place in Kobe at first sight.
Kobe originally has a sea. Today, a beautiful tree-lined avenue runs along the coast. The tree-lined avenue, where many plants greet you, is famous for allowing you to feel the four seasons of Japan. The tree-lined avenue has benches, a cafe, and a lawn where you can lie down, making it feel like a warm space where locals and tourists from Japan and abroad can spend their time together without discrimination.When I saw this tree-lined avenue, I knew I wanted to have my wedding here. I saw elderly couples taking a leisurely stroll, families with children in strollers having tea at cafes, and young couples cuddling while staring out at the ocean. Kobe, where you will live in the future, is waiting for you to find a wonderful place filled with so much love. Please look forward to it.

The days of Kobe in the future are exciting.

On my days off, I climb Mt. Rokko, go to the aquarium and zoo, and take a leisurely walk in the park.On the weekends, I climb the port tower and have a drink to refresh myself!
This is my life in 2035.

Title:To you who have been married for 5 years
Author:PITATO
First of all, let me say thank you.
Thank you for bringing me to Kobe every year.
Kobe is my favorite city where I was born and raised.
That's why I was so happy when he told me that we should go on a date in Kobe every year for our wedding anniversary.
It was the best proposal.
I've been to many places.
Ijinkan, Nankinmachi, Meriken Park, popular restaurants, patisserie...
By the way, the first time we walked through Meriken Park together, you were surprised when I told you, "In this area, wheat flour is sometimes called Meriken flour."
You're probably thinking there's nowhere to go next year, right?
Are you okay. Many new shops and events have opened in Kobe. Thanks to you, we haven't gotten bored over the past 10 years.
Every year, I felt both nostalgic and fresh.
This year, we're planning to visit the filming locations of my daughter's favorite movie in Kobe. Did you say it's a pilgrimage to a sacred place? Looks like a lot of fun, right?

Title:Unchanging Kobe, changing fashion
Author:Pappajime
Hey, listen to me. A message from Kobe in 2035.
It's been half a century since I fell in love with this city. Kobe is still a fashionable city.
Even though times have changed, the charm of this city has not diminished.
No matter what happens in other cities, Kobe is special.
I've been watching Kobe since I was young, and Kobe is always evolving and incorporating new trends.
But the essence remains the same.
It feels like a perfect mix of old and new, you know?
Even now that I'm 70 years old, I still get excited when I walk around the streets of Kobe.
The night view of Harborland, the exotic atmosphere of Kitano, the bustle of Nankinmachi...all are nostalgic yet new.
No matter what era we live in, we will never lose our "Kobe-ness".
That's what's great about this city.
That's why I will always be a Kobe fan.
You will continue to love this city!
