The prefectural road No. 30, which runs north and south, flanking Sannomiya Station, is called Flower Road. It seems that the road got its name because the first flower clock in Japan was installed nearby.
Along the Flower Road on the north side, which is right outside the station, there is a Nakau restaurant, and benches are placed on the sidewalk in front of it. It's nice to have benches on the sidewalk.
These stylish benches blend in well with the city of Kobe.
