漂泊的人1312:“Besides the real spring water, it felt like a bathhouse in China during the summer, albeit with a more elaborate process. First, change into a bathhouse outfit, then shower, then put on your bathhouse outfit to change into your own clothes before leaving. No rest required, and the same process continued. I was given a key box twice. The cashier was quite quick. The food was reasonably priced.”
Opening hours: 10:00-22:00 (admission ends at 21:00)
_M1***57:“Very good experience, next time if I go to Kobe, I will go to Arima again, the experience is very good. My skin is smooth after coming back! There are not many people waiting for the door to open in the morning, unlike the domestic bathhouses, which are like dumplings.”
203***50:“The zoo is great to experience, with indoor and outdoor areas. Children love Capibara the most. You can also visit it in the hot summer. When it's hot, you can enjoy the air conditioning in the indoor restaurant.”
Doctor X_Candy:“Kitano Ijinkan is generally a well-preserved Western-style building complex. These buildings were built by foreign merchants and diplomats around the end of the 19th century. Each Ijinkan retains its unique history and style. Whether it is taking photos or experiencing exotic culture, it is full of surprises. There are also specialty cafes, grocery stores, and restaurants in the block, which is super fun to visit!”
_We***55:“There will be a lot of people on weekends. The performance is mediocre and there is nothing special. It can be regarded as a tourist attraction in Kobe, but don't expect too much. When visiting the aquarium, remember to avoid the end of the performance, as there will be a lot of people.”
Edward123a:“Kobe Port is a famous port in Kansai, Japan. Every day, there will be endless Japanese tourists and foreign tourists coming here to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The Kobe Port during the day is very romantic, and the Kobe Port at night is very charming and has its own beauty. Kobe Port in Kansai, Japan, is a worth visiting attraction, praise.”
Anonymous user:“Maybe it was not the season, the flowers were rather withered and the species were very ordinary. The view from the top was good, but not very spectacular. The cable car went up to the top of the mountain, then walked halfway up the mountain and took the cable car down. It was not tiring and very relaxing. I bought drinks, ice cream and hamburgers on the mountain, which were not bad.”
_TI***T2:“where this place to go for skiing in the winter and sightseeing in the summer , the cables are ok , the night scenery of the city looks great too”

没有蜡olling:“I came to Kobe just to eat Kobe beef. I got off the train and went directly to this famous steak land to enjoy a Wagyu feast. Of course, check out other people's wagyu and steak meals before enjoying them! Wait a moment and our beef will start cooking!”
徐徐霞客Rr:“Kobe Steak House in Japan is very famous in the local area. This restaurant is very ceremonial. The layout is almost the same as in the movie. It is a restaurant with a romantic ceremony. I recommend you to come here for a date.”
Kevin:“This is a relatively large store on Kobe Commercial Street. It looks very good, with a certificate of honor at the door. The Kobe A5 Wagyu beef inside is delivered directly on the same day, and will be available around noon. The price is not very expensive.”
sAviOr_07:“L'avenue is a must-try. It is said that the owner of this shop is the winner of the World Chocolate Master in 2009. The chocolate is the specialty. It is a must-order.
In addition to cakes and biscuits, this shop also has chocolate. Please note that this shop does not have dine-in service, only take-out.
I bought a rich chocolate cake + chocolate puff + cream vanilla pudding + mango slices. The rich chocolate cake is super delicious, and the vanilla pudding is also great.
I waited in line for about half an hour.”
Kevin:“This is a chain store selling Kobe beef. The prices are relatively cheap. It is not a big store and the quality of the beef is a little worse, but its main advantage is the low price and the portion is not too big, so you can taste the flavor of Kobe beef.”
travelererer:“This is a very popular Chinese restaurant that specializes in Cantonese cuisine. The flavors have been slightly modified, but the original flavor is basically maintained. This restaurant does really good business and is often packed.”
健康美丽的芳芳:“Charcoal Grilled Meat is a unique barbecue restaurant in the local area. The barbecue here is really affordable, with the average cost per person being less than RMB 100, which is a very reasonable price in Japan.”
Kevin:“A very good French bakery. The walnut bread there is delicious, and the whole wheat bread is also great. The Japanese bread flour is very fine. The price is a little bit expensive, but it is acceptable.”
sAviOr_07:“Patisseeie Mont Plus is a must-try~ In addition to cakes, coffee, etc., this shop also offers baking classes~ It is a popular shop, it is recommended to come early, otherwise the popular items will be sold out.
Ordered strawberry mille-feuille + cream puff + grape tart + coffee☕️ I like the strawberry mille-feuille the most among the three. The mille-feuille is well made, not sweet and greasy overall, and delicious~ There are too many choices, a little dizzy, I will continue to come next time~”
Kevin:“There is a snack bar next to JR Sannomiya Station that specializes in oden. I saw many local elderly people going there to eat, so I went in to try it. The tofu there was delicious, and it was served with yellow mustard on the side.”
Kevin:“The old-fashioned Kaiseki restaurant Jusanzo is very particular about the ingredients. Every vegetable slice in the wild vegetable soup is carefully selected, and the beef used is naturally the top-grade Kobe A5 Wagyu, which is a better part.”
摆渡修行:“There is a self-service ordering machine at the entrance of this Red Rock, with Chinese and English menus, so don't worry about not knowing how to choose.
The roast beef rice bowl, half-cooked roast beef is stacked in circles on the sauce-soaked rice, with a soft-boiled egg on top. When the soft-boiled egg is pierced, the golden egg liquid immediately flows down along the bright red and tender beef, which is really tempting.
The steak rice bowl is also amazing. A large piece of thick steak is spread on the hot rice, sprinkled with black pepper for seasoning, and the aroma is overflowing. The steak is very chewy, and the full juice is simply satisfying when you bite it.”
