Suma-ku, Kobe

Suma-ku, Kobe

Suma-ku (須磨区; "Suma-ku") is one of 9 wards of Kobe City in Japan. It has an area of 30.0 km², and a population of 168,400 (2008).

There is a white sandy beach in this ward, which attracts tourists from Kansai region for sun bathing and popular events during summer season. The same beach has appeared in the classic epics Genji monogatari, Heike monogatari, and Ise monogatari. Thus Suma is often referred as an "utamakura" or "meisho", referenced frequently in waka poetry, Noh theatre, kabuki and jōruri.

The Beach Boys made a song titled "Sumahama" after this beach in 1970s.
