After short metro trip from airport to downtown our exploring of Kobe started from city center because our hotel was next to Sannomiya station. Kobe is not big city and you can explore pretty much everything by walking around. We started with Sorakuen garden which is so peaceful and relaxing and after that of course we tried delicious Ramen, followed by walking around downtown, have coffee, checking architecture, small shops and etc. until evening. Day two was reserved for Kobe Port where are Kobe Tower, Be Kobe mark, cruise ships, big shopping mall and park. For dinner we tried Kobe Beef and one more time I must say food was delicious 😁 If you have more free time you should definitely visit Venus Bridge, football game of FC Kobe, Futabai Park and Herb Museum. #kobe #kobebeef #kobetrip #ramen #japan

#getgoing2025 Weathercock House (The Former Thomas House) Former Thomas Residence, a National Important Cultural Property in Kobe's Kitano Ijinkan Street. I was taken here by a local on a trip to Kobe. The brightly colored bricks of this building are eye-catching. The weathercock standing on the spire is well known and is an indispensable symbol of Kitano Town. The interior is very retro and cute, incorporating traditional German style. It is definitely worth a stop when you come to Kobe. Highly recommended! 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities: Weathercock House (The Former Thomas House) 📍Address: 3-13-3, Kitano-machi, Chuo-ku, Kobe 650-0002, Japan 💞Reasons to Recommend: Cute interior ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #trip #travel #traveling #Kobe #Japan #vacation

#japantrip #kobe Visiting Kitano Tenman Shrine in Kobe during sakura season is a breathtaking experience. The cherry blossoms in full bloom create a serene and enchanting atmosphere, with delicate pink petals gently falling around the shrine grounds. Perched on a hillside, the shrine not only exudes sacred beauty but also offers lovely views of Kobe, framed by the blooming sakura trees.Dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning, it carries a sense of peace and reverence that blends perfectly with the vibrant spring scenery. The harmony between nature and spirituality makes this a truly memorable spot during cherry blossom season.

When I visited them the first time, it was 17:00 and I was the only person there. The master was a very gentleman, and I received an iced coffee + chiffon cake set. It tasted good enough for me to come back. The atmosphere of the store is very nice, and I like the European-style plate interior. It has an antique feel and the relaxing jazz music coming from the Bose speakers makes you feel good! It is a place run by a unique and wonderful master alone. There are no flashy techniques, but it feels like it is faithful to the basics. The toast is topped with honey-soaked lemon and homemade whipped cream and goes well with coffee. #japantrip #coffeelovers #kobe

Coffee’s better, interior is newer, cleaner & cooler (designed by an architect). The interior takes a minimalist approach with white and natural wood tones, the staff are highly professional, stylish, and very friendly. The coffee is quite delightful too. During the holiday season I do recommend trying the Holiday Blend, but both the drip options and espresso options are quite delightful. They also offer a small assortment of baked goods, which are of a similarly high caliber as the coffee. The staff are friendly, & when I had wifi trouble, they made an extra effort to help me. #japantrip #coffeelovers #kobe

Located next to the sanommiya station this place was one of our best finds. We were put up only two blocks from here so it needed no extra effort. During a two night stay, we ended up eating here thrice and that too mostly varieties of Cheesecake. There is something so different about this place. Same can be said about whole of Japan but this was the quietest of places I visited. And they had all.these books that Japanese customers looked into. I had no idea what it was but they all looked through them carefully. If you like the idea of Cheesecake and you are in kobe, you should definitely visit this one. #japantrip#kobe #localguide

Japan is the perfect summer destination with its warm weather and beautiful sunny days. Most people choose to visit the well known landmarks, but there are so many more things to see! 📍 Ikuta Jinja Shrine, Kobe, Japan 🚌 From Shin-Kobe Station, it is 1.1 miles. You can choose to walk, take a taxi, or take a bus to Sannomiya Station. This shrine has appeared in ‘Pillow Grass Son’ and ‘The Book of Japan’. Inside, there is a vermilion temple and many popular flower gardens. The plum blossoms come alive each spring and are beautiful in photos. The surrounding tall buildings create a stark contrast between modern and traditional. #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #japan #japantrip #kobe #summerdestinations

Japan is the perfect summer destination with its warm weather and beautiful sunny days. Most people choose to visit the well known mega cities and the hustle and bustle, but there are many peaceful and quiet places to visit too! The Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred on the 17th January 1995 with a magnitude of 7.2, killing more than 6000 people and leaving 45,000 homeless. Today there is a 60 metre stretch of the Meriken wharf quay that has been preserved to show visitors the immense damage that the earthquake caused. #kobe #kobetrip #kobejapan #japan #japantrip #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #chinatown #summerdestinations

#japantrip So we had done Osaka and Kyoto several times as our base to get around. I mean once you have the right passes or transport sorted. It doesn't make a lot of difference. Having said so, Kobe has turned out to be a refreshing pick. Many people don't consider it or when they do it's merely a day trip. But once you look closely there is certainly plenty to do, see and eat. The food and the night life in kobe are particularly pleasant. Even without them, should you be considering a visit to himeji castle or other places in that direction. Staying in Kobe is far more convenient than Osaka or Kyoto. #japantrip #kobe #food #shinkansen #holiday

Located in the Ikutacho area of Kobe, the Shinnyo-en temple is about a 10-15 minute walk from the main train station.

It’s a perfect photo opportunity with views of the city and often a very quiet temple 📸 #kobe #kobejapan #kobetrip #japan #japantrip #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

Nankin-machi Chinatown in Kobe, Japan L Nankin-machi is a very small and compact Chinatown located in Kobe. It's the centre of the Chinese community in Kansai region of Japan.

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

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

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

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
