Kobe

Filed under: — Andy @ 3:50 am

Since I couldn’t make it back to Yokohama Monday night, I took a sick day for Tuesday and explored Kobe…


Kobe’s china town.


Since Kobe was one of the first ports opened up to the western world, there was a lot of western influence on the city.


This statue shows the exact time of the Great Hanshin earthquake


Ikuta Shrine


Soraku gardens


I found a very Kobeish cafe for lunch.


The water science museum… for kids, but I still had fun.


Known as the Weathercock house, it is one of the famous foreign residences in Kobe.


Lastly, I couldn’t go to the Kansai area without eating Takoyaki.
