Kobe has 1 data center listed on DataColoc, operated notably by Digital Edge DC. Compare colocation (rack, half-rack, 1U), pricing, certifications and connectivity, then get an instant costed estimate.
Colocation in Kobe (server housing) relies on one listed data center, operated by Digital Edge DC. Your servers are hosted in a 19" rack featuring redundant power, cooling, and 24/7 security. For a wider choice, nearby cities and their distances are listed below.

A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Kobe are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. No single source dominates it: the largest, natural gas, supplies only 32.8% (2025). The detail: natural gas 32.8%, coal 32.1%, solar 9.8%, nuclear 9.1%, hydro 7.2%, bioenergy 5.3%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 67.4% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 477 g of CO2, i.e. about the world average (458 g), 2025 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 16.9 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

Since 1970, 21 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above have been recorded within 100 km of Kobe, and 72 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 6.9 in 1995, 36 km away. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

With a single listed site, Kobe cannot support a disaster-recovery plan spread over two separate buildings within the same town. A second site remains necessary, and it is found in the nearby cities listed below. No Internet exchange point is listed here: traffic will run over transit bought from a carrier, which is billed by bandwidth. No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.
The nearest site outside Kobe is 3 km away, in Sanda-shi. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
