We came in a tropical country, no winter, no snow. That’s why, visiting a snow park is part of our Itinerary and Rokkosan Snow Park made our dream came true. Though the road to the park is really a tough one, we managed to not throw up 😅. Hoping next time the Rokko Cable Car is working already. But overall, it was an enjoyable trip. We loved it! 😍
Kobe Meriken Park is definitely worth a visit! It's right next to Kobe Port, offering stunning views of the red port tower and cruise ships docked. The lights are stunning at night, and the park also boasts historical relics from the Great Hanshin Earthquake. The modern art sculptures and flower garden clock are also perfect for photos! The UMIE shopping district is nearby, so you can enjoy Kobe beef or seafood after a stroll. Transportation is also convenient, just a 10-minute walk from JR Motomachi Station. It's definitely worth a visit.
[Hyogo Prefecture / Awaji Island]
Awaji Island is a popular driving destination on sunny days📍
First, cross the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and go left, there is a roadside station where you can eat lunch and buy onions (^^)
When you go to the back of the store, there is a square and you can see the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge🙌
There are many cafes with ocean views on Awaji Island, but I like Shiawase no Pancakes and often stop by!
The pancakes you eat on the terrace with a view of the ocean are delicious🫶
The ticket window didn't give me a physical ticket; they told me to go directly to the entrance. After explaining to the staff, they let me in. It was quite interesting; many people brought their children in. If you understand Japanese, there's a library upstairs with books about animals that you can freely take and sit down to read. Since I had to move on to the next activity and my Japanese isn't good enough, I didn't read any books. The light art inside was very interesting 😁 I spent a long time there.
This is a beautiful island with loads to do. There is anime, animals, nature and resorts. We took a day trip here for the Godzilla, Naruto and Attack on aTitan events. We used the ferry on the way over which was beautiful, so pleased we did and the bridge on the way back for an alternative view. Lovely place.
The famous Chinatown, decorated in red style, sells Chinese food such as xiaolongbao, ramen, etc. I tasted the Kobe beef burger in the corner. It has a large portion of beef, rich meat flavor, and is juicy in the mouth. It is a good enjoyment.
There is a big apple here.
[Fun] A place with a strong Japanese flavor, clean, single color, and cool.
[Cost-effectiveness] Good, not expensive.
[Scenery] Beautiful, calming.
Довольно неплохая смотровая площадка с интересной архитектурой. Будьте готовы к очередям в предзакатное/ закатное время и к тому, что выход из здания занимает даже больше времени, чем вход в эти часы. В целом довольны посещением.
