Port Island (ポートアイランド Pōto Airando?) is an artificial island in Chuo-ku, Kobe, Japan. It was constructed between 1966 and 1981 at Port of Kobe, and officially opened with an exposition called "Port Pier '81." It now houses a heliport, numerous hotels, a large convention center, the UCC Coffee Museum, Japan's 3rd and latest IKEA store, and several parks.
The Port Liner automated guideway transit system connects Port Island to Sannomiya Station and to Kobe Airport.
The Port Island F.G. Group experience takes place in the Kobe University International Residence on the island.
