Kobe, Japan (December 2009)

20 December 2009

Shin-Kobe

Took a train from Shin-Osaka station to Shin-Kobe station and Kobe's officially my favourite place in Japan. It's such a small area and it just gives me this freaking calm feel. We bought the one-day kobe loop bus ticket and we can take the ticket round and round the whole day and stop at every stop. So we headed to the Herb Farm first...

Herb Farm

Took the cable car up to the farm and the cable car wasn't open yet so we queued and waited for it to run. Arrived at the place and headed to this museum that's so english styled. Walked down to the Herb farm afterwards 'cause it was so cooling just walking down. Walked till there's a dead end in the centre so we took the cable car back down!

Kobe Chinatown

Went to Chinatown and bought some food there and walked around before it started to drizzling so we took the bus again.

Kobe Port Tower

Ben's House

Mosaic

Stopped at Mosaic and explored that area. There's an amusement park there! Went there in the afternoon and headed there at night again for dinner, I think we had Wendy's. We went to the arcade too and there's lots of One Piece and Hitman Reborn stuff! So many anime shops and etc there. It's so cute.

Random Streets

So we walked round and round Kobe afterwards and I have no idea how many places we been to but the last part was randomly walking and finding ourselves at Daimaru and Sogo area so we asked for directions to get back to the train station and the shopkeeper in Mosaic actually walked all the way out of that area to show us how to walk there!! The people there are all so friendly and helpful... So we found the train station and took the train back to Osaka.
