Most livable neighborhoods in Kobe: Top 20
We scored every chōme-level neighborhood in the city of Kobe on four measures: safety (police open data, 2024), everyday convenience, childcare and quiet. The ranking uses their average, so it favours places that hold up across all four rather than peak at one. The top 20 cluster in Kobe-shi Kita-ku (5) and Kobe-shi Higashinada-ku (5).
