I had Herbs' limited-edition "Strawberry Mille-feuille"♡ A fluffy choux pastry is sandwiched with a lightly sweet mixed cream and plenty of large strawberries, making it look gorgeous and exciting. When I took a bite, the light texture of the choux pastry, the smoothness of the cream, and the sweet and sour taste of the strawberries were a perfect match, filling my mouth with happiness.  This cake was only available for a limited time until March 5th, so I was lucky to be able to enjoy it at the right time. All of Herbs' strawberry sweets are attractive, but this mille-feuille is my favorite.  I'm looking forward to the next strawberry fair!  #Kobe #Domestic travel #0 yen travel

I had meat udon and tempura at Udon no Shikoku in the basement of Sannomiya Center Street. The meat udon was topped with plenty of sweet and spicy stewed beef, and the aroma of the broth spread out softly, making it a perfect match for the chewy noodles. The tempura was crispy, and the burdock tempura in particular was delicious. The portions were generous and very satisfying, and it's a restaurant I'd like to visit again.  #DomesticTravel #Kobe #0YenTravel

Enjoy the much talked about ramen at Jinrui Mina Menrui, the first Kobe store. The clear soy sauce soup is full of seafood flavor, and is impressively deep yet easy to drink. The thick noodles have a chewy texture and are perfectly balanced with the soup. What surprised me most was the large pork slices! They were soft, juicy, and satisfying. The stylish and clean interior makes it easy for women to enter alone, and it feels like another wonderful ramen culture has been added to Kobe. I'll definitely be returning! #0yentravel #Kobetrip #Domestictravel

While walking under the elevated tracks connecting Hankyu Sannomiya Station and JR Motomachi Station, I discovered a cute cafe, so I'd like to introduce it to you♪ Its name is "우리가만든 SCENARIO". When you open the door, there is a staircase right in front of you. Should I go up to the second floor first? I was wondering, when a beautiful staff member popped out from the back of the first floor. Please order here first, she said. There were a wide variety of drinks, so I was undecided, but I ordered a hot hazelnut latte for 600 yen. They also had alcohol! ←A big plus lol After ordering, I went up to the second floor. It has a Korean atmosphere and is very cute! There are windows, so it's open and clean. The staff will bring your products to you, so you can wait leisurely at your seat. The stairs are steep, so be careful especially when going down on your way back. You can enter and exit this shop from either the underpass or the road side. 📍Location: 2-30-58 Kitanagasadori, Chuo-ku, Kobe City

Start your day at the lively yet tranquil Ikuta Shrine. With a history spanning 1,800 years, this shrine is located right in the city center. After paying your respects, take a leisurely stroll along the paths within the shrine grounds to experience a touch of serenity in Kobe's daily life. Next, head up the slope to the exotic Kitano Ijinkan Street. This area is lined with charming Western-style houses, such as the Weathercock House and the Moegi House. Each building has its own fascinating Western-inspired story, making you feel as if you've traveled back in time to Kobe during the Meiji era. For lunch, visit the bustling Sannomiya Shopping Street, where numerous restaurants and shops await. Whether it's Kobe beef bowls, udon noodles, or Western-style cuisine, the options are sure to whet your appetite. I chose a reasonably priced yet delicious tonkatsu restaurant, where the crispy exterior and juicy meat left me feeling energized. After exploring the shopping street, take a walk to Kobe Port Tower, a symbol of Kobe's harbor. Ascend the tower to enjoy panoramic views of the harbor and cityscape, with the sea breeze gently brushing against you. In the evening, stroll over to the nearby Mosaic Plaza. Dine at a seaside restaurant while admiring the harbor's nightscape, with the Ferris wheel and Kobe Port Tower illuminated. This marks the perfect end to a fulfilling and romantic one-day trip.

Sannomiya is Kobe's busiest area. There are a lot of restaurants around Sannomiya Station, so you won't have any trouble finding a place to eat. Today, I would like to introduce a wild game restaurant called "Minatomachi Blues"! It is located about a two-minute walk from Sannomiya Station, and is recommended for dates as well as for solo diners. My first order when I visited alone was the Hunter's Drinking Set for 1,200 yen. One glass of draft beer, a salad, grilled wild boar, and three wild game skewers. The skewers were venison, duck, and lamb. I also added a three-kind wild game oden for 480 yen. None of the dishes smelled bad and were very delicious. 📍Location: 1F Nishisaka Building, 1-6-11 Kitanagasatsudori, Chuo-ku, Kobe #KobeGourmet #SannomiyaGourmet

If you find yourself in Kobe Sannomiya and need a quick meal after a long walk, a steaming bowl of Yokohama Iekei Ramen is the perfect choice! This Iekei Ramen is characterized by its rich pork bone soy sauce broth and chewy thick noodles, providing a warm and satisfying experience with every bite. I ordered a classic Chashu Ramen. The rich broth had a fragrant pork bone aroma, with a robust flavor that wasn't overly salty. The broth also had a delightful pork fat fragrance, adding layers to the taste. The thick noodles absorbed the broth well, making them chewy and flavorful. The chashu slices were plentiful, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and had a hint of charred aroma, leaving a lasting impression. The restaurant has a simple and friendly atmosphere. Ordering is straightforward, and you can customize the broth's richness, noodle firmness, and fat content to perfectly suit your preferences. The prices are very reasonable, with a basic bowl of ramen costing around ¥800, making it an affordable and delicious option! 📍 **Address**: Near Sannomiya Station, Sannomiya-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture (3-minute walk from Sannomiya Station) 🕒 **Business Hours**: 11:00 AM – Late Night (specific hours vary by location) 🎯 **Recommended Dishes**: Classic Chashu Ramen, add an Onsen Egg, and pair with a small bowl of white rice for an even better experience!

I would like to introduce Frenchman, which was recommended to me and was a huge hit. I really liked the casual atmosphere, which reminded me of the Italian restaurant I used to go to. The appeal is that you can enjoy high-quality ingredients and dishes made using authentic French techniques at reasonable prices. Personally, I particularly like the macarons sandwiched with foie gras (which are often served as an amuse-bouche at high-end French restaurants). I was also happy that there was a wide selection of mocktails on offer. There are apparently several stores in the Kansai and Kanto regions, so if you haven't been there, be sure to give it a try. #0yentravelNovember

If you walk along Flower Road from Sannomiya Station towards Higashi Yuenchi, you will see a stylish building on your right. The interior is luxurious and stylish. There are about four main dishes in the lunch course, all of which looked delicious, but I chose the oven-baked sea bream and grilled vegetables. The appetizer salad was fresh and plentiful, and the pumpkin soup was rich. The bread had a chewy texture, and I think even men would be fully satisfied. For dessert, I chose the cheesecake. The atmosphere is nice, so it is recommended for couples on a date. By the way, they also welcomed me even though I was alone. 【Villa Blanche】 📍Location: 6-1-4-1 Kanoucho, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: 11:00-16:30 💰Price per person: Lunch course from 3,000 yen

Fortune telling bar in Sannomiya "Get a little drunk?" 🩷 I was surprised to find such a fun place in Kobe 🫢 And the owner here is so funny. A small bar about 10 minutes walk from Sannomiya Station. It's a bar that only those in the know know, but when I was a university student, it was so popular that all my friends knew it ✨ The bar can seat about 3 groups at the counter! If it's free, you're lucky, it's always busy 👀 However, if you wait a little, you can get in, and if it's too popular, they have a second store and you can be guided there. For 1000 yen, they will give you a drink and snacks, and for 1000 yen you can get a tarot reading, and you will draw a card while thinking about one problem or thing you want to ask. The owner is very sarcastic and very funny! He will tell you the result! If it's good, they'll say "Congratulations!!!" with a lot of excitement, and if it's bad, they'll say "Tadaaa!!! Sorry" and give you a clear result lol You sit at the counter and wait for other people's fortunes, so you'll inevitably hear the worries of the person next to you lol You can become friends with the person next to you, and you'll feel refreshed after the fortune telling is over 🐓 Business hours 17:00-23:30 📍Are you getting a little drunk? 2F Petit Flower Building, 1-4-9 Shimoyamatedori, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture #FreeTabi #0yenTrip #DomesticTravel #Domestic #FortuneTelling #Bar #Sannomiya #RecommendedSpots

~ Travel to Kobe, Ikuta Road ~ Ikuta Road is a 400-meter long approach to Ikuta Shrine in Chuo Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, that connects with Sannomiya Chuo Street, and is also called Ikuta-suji!
