Born in Sannomiya 70 years ago: We are collecting "My Memories with the Kobe Shimbun Building"

The former Kobe Shimbun Kaikan, the predecessor of Mint Kobe, will celebrate its 70th anniversary on May 3, 2026. Although it was completely destroyed in the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, it was rebuilt as Mint Kobe and will mark its 20th anniversary. We would like to express our sincere gratitude once again to everyone who has supported us. As 2026 is our anniversary year, we are planning special campaigns and events filled with our appreciation, so please look forward to them.

We are also taking this opportunity to solicit submissions for "My Memories of the Kobe Shimbun Kaikan."

・Within 300 characters

・A portion will be featured in a special section scheduled for May, and will also be used for the Kobe Shimbun Kaikan 70th Anniversary Commemorative Project.

・Selected applicants will receive a gift certificate usable at Mint Kobe. Please include your address, name, age, and phone number. (Anonymous submissions accepted)

※Photographs will not be returned as a general rule. If you wish to have yours returned, please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope.
