KOBE|Take a Look at a Touch of Kobe Blue
When visiting Kansai, the most anticipated destinations are not Osaka and Kyoto, but rather Kobe and Nara. Especially Kobe, with its fewer people, coastal surroundings, and delicious beef, is perfect for a leisurely day trip in Japan.

Upon arriving in Kobe, we got off the Shinkansen and headed straight to Hankyu Department Store across the street. It is said that Kobe has the most comprehensive selection of goods. We snagged the out-of-stock Chanel foundation. If you have favorites, you can also shop around, and don't miss the mall discounts!
Then we headed straight to Meriken Park. The best way to explore this park is by taking a seaside stroll, checking in at the landmarks, buying a coffee at the Starbucks inside the park, and sitting by the sea—it's very relaxing!
Then, continue walking forward to reach the Anpanman Museum and the Ferris wheel, both iconic buildings that are great for photos!

You can also try Kobe beef, but be sure to make a reservation in advance, otherwise, you won't get a spot in line, and they close early for dinner.
