Yes it was very near the epicentre of the earthquake
Yes, the Kobe earthquake occurred on a conservative plate margin where the Philippine Sea Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. The earthquake was a result of the intense tectonic forces and stresses associated with this subduction zone.
The Kobe earthquake occurred in Kobe, Japan in 1995. It was a magnitude 6.9 earthquake that caused extensive damage and loss of life in the region.
The Mercalli Intensity Scale is a measure of earthquake intensity experienced at a given location. The Kobe earthquake in 1995 had intensities reaching up to VIII (8) on the Mercalli Intensity Scale in the heavily affected areas around Kobe.
The Kobe earthquake was more catastrophic than the Northridge earthquake in terms of casualties and economic impact. The Kobe earthquake, which struck Japan in 1995, resulted in over 6,000 deaths and caused extensive damage to infrastructure. The Northridge earthquake, which struck California in 1994, caused fewer casualties and less widespread destruction.
Approx. 6400 people died in the Kobe earthquake most suffocated or were burnt to death in the flames that spread through Kobe on the 17th January 1995. So far the amount of people that have died in the Japanese earthquake is 10,000 people.
No, it was a destructive plate boundry. :)

It was named The Great Hanshin earthquake or Kobe earthquake.
The Kobe earthquake occurred in Japan in the year 1995.
the Kobe earthquake wasn't caused by a volcanic explsion, yes it occured at a destructive plate margine where the phillipine plate subducted under the eurasian plate but no vulcanism occured, the friction caused by the subduction caused the earthquake which has been identified to have a strike slip mechanism
The Earthquake of Kobe occurred in Japan in 1995.

It was the Eurasian and the Philippine plates that moved and caused the earthquake in Kobe.
The cost of the repairs for Kobe after the earthquake was at least 160 billion yen.
it damaged lots of houses
Destructive. Destructive means destroying and constructive means to make something. An earthquake is both destructive and constructive.
Its called the Kobe earthquake
