*''Japanese'': 兵庫津 ''(Hyougo no tsu)''
Hyôgo no tsu was a major medieval and early modern port city in [[Settsu province]] on the [[Inland Sea]], a short distance west of [[Osaka]]. The harbor dates back to the [[Heian period]], and lends its name today to the surrounding [[prefectures of Japan|prefecture]] of [[Hyogo prefecture|Hyôgo]]. The port-city was renamed [[Kobe]] in the modern era.
One of the [[five harbors]] (''go-tomari'' or ''go-haku'') built by [[Gyoki|Gyôki]] in the [[Nara period]], Hyôgo no tsu, originally known as Owada no tomari, was protected from rough waves and winds by Wada-no-misaki. The harbor was expanded by [[Taira no Kiyomori]] in [[1180]] in order to be able to accommodate [[Song Dynasty]] Chinese vessels, but was destroyed soon afterwards in the [[Genpei War]]. It was soon rebuilt, however, and came to be known as Hyôgo no tsu from the [[Kamakura period]] onward.
In the [[Muromachi period]], Hyôgo was the chief departure point for [[kango boeki|tally trade]] ships bound for China.
During the [[Edo period]], Hyôgo was not only a major shipping and trading port, but also a significant stop for ''daimyô'' on their ''[[sankin kotai|sankin kôtai]]'' journeys, and for foreign missions such as the [[Korean embassies to Edo|Korean]], [[Ryukyuan embassies to Edo|Ryukyuan]], and [[VOC|Dutch]] embassies to [[Edo]].
The port, now renamed Kobe, was opened to Western trade in [[1868]], following the [[Harris Treaty]] of [[1858]].
