Sign in Meriken Park:
The following are prohibited:
-Making Fire.
-Playing games with hard balls.
-Selling without permission.
-Leaving dogs.
(I really wish I could ask for clarification about the hard ball rule, and how many people leave their dogs in the middle of Kobe)


On the site of the first American Consulate in Kobe (1886) is now a "Grand-Back Big and Tall Store" This somehow seems appropriate. They even have a plaque giving you these details in case you were curious.
