The Kobe municipal government operates this swimming pool, on the eleventh floor of a tall building about ten minutes walk from my hotel. I swam there several times. I had to buy a swimming cap to be allowed in. The water was very warm. The ramp you see is for people in wheelchairs; one night there were several of them present. Tourist Information warned me "closed Thursdays", so I didn't try that day; but on Saturday they also wouldn't let me swim, saying emphatically "Saturday! No!" although I could see people in the pool. But "Sunday OK".
