Kobe is known as the port town sandwiched
between the Seto Island Sea to the South and thegreenery of the Rokko mountain range to the North.
The workshop venue, Kobe University Centennial
Hall (Rokko Hall), is located at the foot of the Rokkomountains. In October it is typically clear with thetemperature ranging from 16℃(low) to 23℃(daytime high). For more information of Kobe,
