I also went to the spiritual (and indeed physical) home of the Hanshin Tigers, Koshien!! Sadly it was closed for reconstruction but I still got to pose outside and throw a baseball around, which is always fun.
Finally I also made it to the Akashi Ohashi, the world's longest suspension bridge which I've passed many times on my way to or back from Kobe/Osaka, but never seen up close. More excitingly I've just learnt from Wikipedia that in 1998 it claimed its title from Hull's Humber Bridge (which has now sank to number 4) - et tu Timmy-chan!

Kobe Luminarie, which appears every year in honour of those who died in the Greak Kanto Earthquake of 1995.
Hey Hey! Hannnnshin, Taigaasu!
Up close at the Hashi.
