KOBE

I went to Kobe last week. Kobe is one of the my favorite city in Japan. There are many shopping stores. And Kobe also has many western-style buildings. Because about 100 years ago, Kobe port was the outlet of the trade with foreign countries.

Many imigration who are from not only western countries but also Asian countries lived there. And Kobe still has foreingn country areas like chinese town. Kobe is the city which is mixed meny cultures.The upper picture, I went to the Kobe University which is the public university in Japan. My friend goes this university and I went to eat school lunch there.

After Kobe University, I went to area of western-style built for westerners in Japan in the Meiji period, Ijin kan. There is my favorite Star Bucks coffee. This Star Bucks coffee is different from other one, because they use old western-style building. In the store is like western-style house because they use old western-style funiture and rooms. Maybe you can enjoy, if you go there!

We also entered the most famous house in this area, Kazamidori no yakata (house of the weathercoock). It was so nice. Every faniture were so beautiful, but they sometime used Japanese style funiture but it was also nice.

After we went to the Ijinkan area, we went to the Chinese town. There are many chiese stores, we can eat many cheap chinese foods and buy many chinese things. Almost all worker are chinese there so we can feel that we are in China. I ate Niku man and Tapioka drink. These were so delicious. I want to go there again.

Finaly we went to the Kobe Bay. And we took on the plesure boat. We can enjoy the cruise. We can see the view of the Kobe town and also Akashi kaikyou bridge. We can stay in the boat about 1 hour and cost is only 800yen, so it was really cheap and we can see many things from see, so if you went to the Kobe, please take it!

Kobe is really interesting city.

If you have never been there, please visit there.

I love to walk around Kobe city so much!
