A beautiful day at the Port of Kobe

The Port of Kobe is among the leading International trading ports in Japan. It is the fourth busiest port in the country. It has a popular amusement park as well. The Port of Kobe was officially opened in 1868. Kobe Port Tower was completed in 1963. The port has a beautiful landscape overlooking the Rokko Mountains. Locals and tourists meet up and hang out in the area.

Great place for Kobe Beef Steak - Merikan Hatoba

Merikan Steak and Grill is a steak house serving the famous Kobe beef. It is located in the Motomachidori shopping district but on a side street, so it is necessary to look carefully to reach the place. It is a small restaurant with less than 20 seats and reservation in advance is highly recommended. Merikan Hatoba serves only A5 Kobe beef, so the few sets on the menu basically offers the beef by weight - ie 100g, 150g or 200g. The chef managed the kitchen by himself, while another waitress served customers. We ordered the sets and within 15 minutes the beef steaks were ready! Without a word, we all dove right into our delicious and juicy meal! When the chef is free , he would even come out and take photos with his customers! This is a cozy little place full of character that we would definitely want to go back! Address 1 Chome-3-14 Motomachidori, Chuo Ward, Kobe, Hyogo 650-0022, Japan Hours 11-3pm, 5-9pm close on Monday #urbanexplorer #kobe #foodie #japan #foodinjapan

Must go to this Starbucks in Kobe Japan

This Starbucks is located near the Kobe port and is surrounded by a few branded hotels and two big shopping malls. My friend and I went there on foot, and while we were on our way, we saw the beautiful scenery of the city with a sea view. This Starbucks has two levels: the first level is the order and pickup area with a few tables and chairs, and the second level has a balcony where you can watch the sun set. They provide an English menu and well-spoken English-speaking staff, so we have no problem communicating with them. After ordering, we sat outside so we could enjoy the great view of the park and sea. Because of the view, we totally forgot our orders, but thankfully the staff bought them for us. It was so heartwarming, and the staff even complimented our beautiful nails. When it's time for the sun to set, we go to the second floor's balcony to watch the sunset. That was the best thing we have ever seen. I really do recommend this Starbucks to you all, and I hope you will enjoy it. If you're there, please comment below, and I'd love to hear your experience. #kobe #starbucks #seaview #foodie #sunset

Coffee in Sannomiya

Excelsior Caffee is located In the middle of the shopping street in Sannomiya , Kobe. It is one of the larger coffee places and has three levels of seats. It opens early ( as many in the area opens after 10 or even 11am) so it’s perfect if you need to have a quick breakfast before starting your journey. We went there at 830 am and it was quite busy, but the place was cleared by 915 as everyone was ready to get to work. Excelsior Caffe offers simple morning breakfast sets - including waffles, ham sandwiches, croque- monsieur or toast with hot drinks at just about ¥500. The food is well prepared and taste good ! I would recommend this place as it is convenient and has plenty of seats in the middle of Sannomiya Shopping street. #cityexplorer #Coffeeinjapan #kobe #Sannomiya

A mix of Western and Japanese Culture

Kobe is a port city with vibrant culture☺️ It is a stylish city in Western Japan. It is very popular for its Kobe beef and for shopping along its port. It is located across the bay from Osaka, and the capital city of Hyogo prefecture. We went to Kobe Oji Zoo and the bay area. It's a shame we didn't try the Kobe beef 🥺 Maybe we should visit again 🤗 #kobe #hyogo #japan #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #tripmoments #travel #2023travelwish

Marvellous Moriya

Inside an unassuming building on the streets surrounding the Kobe Sannomiya Station is a marvellous teppanyaki called Moriya. It’s been around since 1884, and the walls inside are lined with all the awards it’s gained over the years. While there are numerous teppanyaki shops in Kobe, this one stands out as offering great value for the quality of food it serves. The staff are very friendly and can communicate in simple English.

thought we got lost in the mountains of Rokko, only to realize we were led to find this beautiful hidden falls. thank you to the ojisan and obasan that helped us through our trek. we could have gotten really lost because no translations were written in the signs. maybe we really don't get lost in a new place, we're just given a chance to see other places that are also worth seeing. #japan #kobe #mtrokko

Kobe Shushinkan

First destination of the day for my Day 2 of Kobe sake breweries tour. Saw these two ladies walking out with a sakelee softserve cone and I knew I had to get it too even in this winter weather! This is also a 3-in-1 place with a sake brewery, a souvenir shop and a restaurant. Limited by the time, I only bought a few items and of course the sakelee softserve is not to be missed! Also awesome with the cold weather so it doesn't melt fast. Able to take a few photos and not melt. #japan #kobe #sakebrewery #sakeleesoftserve

Sawanotsuru Sake Museum(Kobe)

Back to Kobe for the second part of my sake breweries tour. This is Day 2 of exploration which I went solo. Day 1 was the first 3 breweries that I visited last year to buy some goodies I want to bring back. This one was one of the furthest of the few breweries in the area so quite difficult to visit all 6-7 of them at once since they close early in the evening too. Anyways, nice small shop. Recommendations of the day were umeshu and nama genshu. Some Valentine's chocolates too. #sake #japanesesake #sakebrewery #kobe #museum #japan #umeshu

Great scenic views!

Great place with amazing views over Kobe. It was a huge experience to visit one of the largest garden in Japan. Start the journey by taking a cable car up to the top. I’m not afraid of heights, so can still take it easy. Worth it to get the amazing view! Got some really nice shops up there. I aslo bought a premium soft vanilla ice cream with a fantastic taste! Parking 🚗: Prefer walking on the streets. More adventurous! Address📍: Kobe Nunobiki Herb Garden located at Kobe, Japan. Entry Fees 🎟: Around RM 60 for an adult/RM30 for a child. #celebratewithtrip #fallingforfall #awesomepic #deliciousfood #summervacation #kobe #japan #tripblazers

Multicultural Seaside City

Kobe is a relaxing city that has different feel to it. It reminds you somewhat of being overseas and not in Japan, albeit with all the benefits of Japan! You'll find relaxing seaside promenades, a Chinatown and insightful architecture. Kobe is a port city and warmly embraces its past by preserving several remnants of its past bustle. Starting from the seaside promenade, you'll find relaxing walks along the sea. Here you'll also find the iconic Kobe Port Tower, which stands out on the waterfront. You'll also find a reminder of the Great Hanshin earthquake which wrecked havoc in the city; there's a section of the area of how the waterfront was moved by this phenomenon. Moving inwards you'll find Kobe Chinatown, which is a celebration of the Chinese who first settled the area. Nowadays, you'll find Chinese themed buildings and also streets lined with Sino-Japanese fusion foods. A definite must visit! Finally, at Kitano-ko, there is a collection of foreign styled residences. You'll really feel yourself outside of Japan, but it's still nonetheless a great place to wander around. Overall, Kobe is a great city to explore. Being right next to the sea allows countless waterfront walks. Kobe is/was a very international city and has preserved this cultural aspect. #explore #travel #city #kobe #japan

Travel alone : You can do it!! Osaka and Kobe

In Osaka, make sure to visit Dotonbori for its lively atmosphere, delicious street food, and iconic neon signs. Try takoyaki (octopus balls), okonomiyaki (savory pancake), and kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers) for an authentic culinary experience. Additionally, exploring Osaka Castle and the surrounding park provides a glimpse into Japan's rich history. In Kobe, a must-visit spot is the Kobe Harborland, where you can enjoy scenic views of the port, shop at the numerous boutiques, and dine at waterfront restaurants. Don't miss trying Kobe beef, renowned for its tenderness and flavor, at one of the local restaurants. A stroll through the historic Kitano district with its charming Western-style houses is also highly recommended. When traveling solo, don't hesitate to strike up conversations with locals or fellow travelers. Making new friends along the way can enhance your travel experience, as you exchange stories, recommendations, and perhaps even explore new places together. Sharing laughter, insights, and memorable moments with newfound friends can elevate your mood and create lasting bonds, enriching your journey in Osaka and Kobe.#Osaka #Kobe #Japan #travellover #travelalone

Onsen! onsen!

Serene view from our hotel window during winter at #arimaonsen #kobe feeling relaxed and energized from the kinsen therapeutic waters!

#Osaka station #osaka #kobe nice, beautiful station with a modern architecture. Osaka is a fun and pleasant city with good attitude towards foreigners to visit with many nice restaurants and fun nightlife. Hotels are very cheap compared to Tokyo in popular destinations. Highly recommend and overall the best city in Japan. just stay away from Kobe city, because it’s not a very friendly city for tourism with a bias and bad cold-hearted attitude towards foreigners.

Rx7 @Mount Rokko

Challenging day driving the Japanese sports car#Rx7 from #osaka to#kobe using the Hanshin Expressway, made it to the top of Mount Rokko under the most foggy and rainy day. I could only imagine the view from the mountain top be so nice under great weather It was definitely a fun day whipping the childhood dream car, was my desire satisfy yes of course, do I wanna drive a manual over automatic car? Not a chance
