Kobe

Kobe is known as a port city but its picturesque location between the sea and the Rokko Mountains is its most striking feature. Mount Rokko makes it easy to hike in the afternoon, and nearby Nunobiki Falls is a great destination during the hotter months. Kobe has many characteristic neighborhoods of the port city, lovely cafes, and buildings with a long history.

Located a 5-minute walk from Motomachi Station is the largest Nankinmachi Chinatown in the Kansai area. There are many Chinese restaurants close to each other and the restaurants can be bought and taken away to eat while walking on the street. If you want to see another side of Kobe, go to "Shinkaichi". This is an area with the look of an old town with shops loved by locals and a long-standing shopping street. Port Tower is also known as the symbol of Kobe. This is a view tower of the whole city with a height of 108m, loved by a large number of residents and tourists. The tower is red with a Hyperboloid structure that curves in the middle like a jar, reflecting beautifully against the blue sky. At "Toawest" is a shopping area located between Sannomiya Station and Motomachi Station with clothing stores, small second-hand shops, and cafes hidden behind small alleys. You can walk leisurely and shop at the same time. Please continue to explore the famous tourist destinations here.
