Experience Details
Kobe is a charming city located in the Hyogo Prefecture of Japan. Situated between the scenic Rokko Mountains and the picturesque coastline of Osaka Bay, Kobe offers a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and modern sophistication. Although the city is renowned for its legendary wagyu beef and is home to the largest Chinatown in the Kansai region, there's much more to discover.
Join us on an exhilarating journey through the charming city of Kobe via the lively Sannomiya and Kitanozaka districts, as we embark on a bar hopping and izakaya extravaganza.
Sannomiya–located in the heart of Kobe city–is the most populated due to its massive concentration of shops, restaurants, and bars. Your faithful guide will take you to some local watering holes and izakayas here. Once inside, you'll be greeted by a lively atmosphere where salarymen unwind after a long day, and friends cheerfully clink glasses. The friendly staff welcomes visitors with open arms, offering a variety of mouthwatering dishes. From crispy tempura to savory takoyaki, the options seem endless. As we indulge in the delectable treats, the conversations flow freely, and the laughter becomes infectious.
The next stop on our Kobe adventure is Kitanozaka–an area that showcases the city's position as an international trading port. Walking through the streets, you can see traditional Japanese and Western culture merge. Popular amongst the locals, some bars and restaurants have themed their establishments with various decorations, trinkets, and even menu items from their favorite overseas countries.
With its captivating blend of culture, cuisine, and natural beauty, Kobe is a city that will leave an indelible mark on your heart. Immerse yourself in the spirit of adventure, embrace the flavors, and let the vibrant energy of Kobe take you on a memorable journey through one of Japan's most enchanting cities.
