Shinbosha Co., Ltd. (Kobo-sha), specializing in the design and construction of fire and disaster prevention equipment, located in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, and represented by Shinichi Tsuji, has endorsed and participated in the 'Kobe Mountain Climbing Project' promoted by Kobe City, engaging in hiking trail maintenance activities.
The Rokko Mountain Range attracts approximately 6 million visitors annually. However, there is a shortage of personnel for the maintenance of hiking trails and forest environments. In response to this situation, Kobe City is promoting initiatives to conserve hiking trails in collaboration with companies and organizations.
Recognizing the need to consider disaster prevention not only for buildings and equipment but also for the entire regional environment as a 'company supporting regional safety and security,' we decided to participate in this project. In the initial activity conducted on May 10, 2026, six employees participated in cleaning activities while walking along the hiking trails in the Yamada-michi area.
Rokko Mountain Range, Visited by Approximately 6 Million People Annually, Faces Challenges with Maintenance Personnel Shortage
Forests cover approximately 40% of Kobe City's area, spanning about 22,000 hectares. The Rokko Mountain Range plays a crucial role not only for citizen use but also as a tourist resource, making it one of the leading hiking areas in the Kansai region, attracting about 6 million visitors annually.
However, continuous management is necessary for the maintenance of hiking trails and forest environments. In recent years, various issues have become apparent, including the growth of large trees due to decreased utilization of satoyama (traditional rural landscapes), increased risk of falling trees caused by Nara sickness and pine wilt disease, expansion of bamboo forests, and loss of biodiversity.
Furthermore, due to the lack of a developed forestry industry focused on timber production in Kobe City, there is a shortage of businesses and personnel responsible for forest development and maintenance, necessitating the participation of diverse entities such as companies and local organizations.
In light of these circumstances, Kobe City is promoting the 'Kobe Mountain Climbing Project,' which involves maintaining and repairing hiking trails and conducting cleaning activities in collaboration with companies and organizations.
Initial Activity Saw Six Employees Participate in Hiking and Cleaning
In the initial activity held on May 10, six employees from our company participated in cleaning activities on the hiking trails in the Yamada-michi area.
During the activity, we collected items such as plastic bottles, empty cans, and packaging waste, while also assessing the condition of the trails. Walking the mountain provided an opportunity to experience firsthand the difficulties of maintaining the hiking environment and the necessity of continuous conservation efforts.
On the same day, employees' children also participated, engaging in the activities while interacting with nature. Through the cleaning efforts, it served as a valuable opportunity to foster an understanding of the importance of protecting the natural environment and the awareness of passing on the region's nature to future generations.
Our company plans to continue these activities on a regular basis, approximately once every three months.
Expanding the Scope of 'Disaster Prevention' from Urban Areas to Natural Environments
Until now, our company has supported regional safety and security through the design, construction, and maintenance inspections of fire prevention equipment.
In recent years, cases where natural environments and disaster prevention are inseparable have increased, including risks of heavy rainfall disasters, landslides, and forest fires. We believe that 'disaster prevention' encompasses not only buildings and equipment but also the protection of the regional environment itself. As a company rooted in Kobe, we will continue to work towards creating a sustainable regional environment in collaboration with the local community.
What is the 'Kobe Mountain Climbing Project'?
The 'Kobe Mountain Climbing Project' is a project promoted by Kobe City to 'leverage Kobe's mountains as regional resources.'
It aims to develop new attractions for Kobe through mountain climbing, nature experiences, tourism, and local circulation, utilizing Kobe's unique urban environment where the sea and mountains are in close proximity. While the Rokko Mountain Range attracts approximately 6 million visitors annually, securing continuous personnel for the maintenance of hiking trails and forest environments remains a challenge. Against this backdrop, Kobe City is promoting 'hiking trail maintenance activities' that involve repairing and cleaning trails in collaboration with companies and organizations.
