I went to the cafe "UNICORN" in Motomachi! The scorching sun was shining down on me that day, and I was thirsty and tired from walking, so this was an oasis that suddenly appeared lol Maybe because it was lunchtime, the restaurant was empty and I was able to relax. I ordered a spicy ginger latte. The perfect harmony of spiciness and sweetness was delicious♡ I thought it was a little on the sweet side, but this level of sweetness was just right for a tired body lol There were also sweets in the showcase inside the restaurant that looked delicious. #MotomachiCafe #MotomachiShoppingStreet #KobeMotomachi #KobeTourism #KobeTrip #KobeCafe #KobeCafeTour #KobeCafeClub #KobeCoffeeShop #Kobe

I took a walk around Motomachi Shopping Street! Motomachi Shopping Street is right in front of Kobe Daimaru, the old settlement, and right next to Chinatown Nankinmachi, making it a spot where you can spend the whole day. No matter when you go, it's always crowded and lively! The famous Moriya Shoten croquettes are always lined up. I like them because they're delicious. When I went back after a long time, I found a gachapon specialty store, and they sell everything from Korean cosmetics to cheap greengrocers! There are many different types of stores, so everyone from small children to adults can enjoy them. 📍 1-6-chome, Motomachi-dori, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, 650-0001 #HyogoTourism#Motomachi #MotomachiChinatown #MotomachiShoppingStreet

I went to a coffee shop called Golden Cup Kobe in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture. It's a coffee shop in Motomachi Shopping Street. From the exterior to the interior, it had a retro feel, or rather, a really nice atmosphere. The staff quickly guided me and I ordered a set of coffee and homemade pudding. The coffee was made using a siphon method and was very delicious. The pudding was also very mellow and delicious. If you go to Motomachi Shopping Street, please stop by! 📍Golden Cup Kobe 1F Kobe Plaza Hotel West, Motomachi Shopping Street, 3-4-7 Motomachi-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo 650-0022 #0 yen trip
