What a crazy coincidence. I've been watching your tabieats videos for years, and just this week I found out I am moving to Kobe for my job. These videos have been a huge help for me to see the city before I get there haha thanks a lot.
My sister and I went to Kobe by the Hankyu Line from Osaka over 2 days in Dec 2022. It was worth getting the 2-day pass at 1200 yen (if I had remembered it correctly) to travel to Kobe. Do visit the Herbs Garden in Kobe as its grounds are really spacious and the Christmas vibes were superb. Hmm… one thing to note, the restaurants were all closed at 2.30 pm and we had a hard time getting our lunch after we took the cable ride down from the Herbs garden. On the second day, we had Kobe beef at Steak Land (6th floor) and it was delicious. After lunch, we had a great time checking out the designer boutiques near Daimaru. We had a great retail experience there as it wasn’t crowded like Namba in Osaka. The lack of crowd and the pretty boutiques all lined up neatly put one in a relaxed and happy mood. Will definitely visit Kobe again.
Kobe is on day 4 of my trip, I'm so excited. One thing I'm noticing is Japan keeping remnants of disaster as reminders. Ive seen videos of several places up in the Tohoku region that did the same thing regarding the earthquake.
It's hilarious, Shinichi is enjoying the walk and prolonging it so that he can enjoy the view and the breeze. Meanwhile, Satoshi is rushing to get some morning coffee :D
I absolutely LOVE the buildings on this walk. Reminds me of San Francisco downtown 40 years ago when I was a kid there. This was a really beautiful walk. Japan constantly amazes me with their resilience and ability to rebuild after natural destruction like earthquakes.
I love how peaceful and sleepy everything feels so early in the morning, thank you for sharing with us! 💕 I always enjoy your videos where you take us along on a walk and show us the sights.
I do know, and remember the earthquake in 95 - we felt it in Kanagawa. Then we watched the reports on the TV - after picking it up, and it was terrible. I've never been to Kobe, but would love to go if I have a chance to go back to Japan. I'm enjoying the walk to the harbor. Some of those buildings do remind me of Yokohama, and some of it reminded me of parts of New York City with the old buildings. However, with the ocean on one side and the mountains in the background, it also feels like San Diego. And yet, it's still a beautiful Japanese city. I also love exploring shotengai - I could never get tired exploring them in Japanese cities. Shall we address the big white elephant in the room? What's with Kobe Tower? It's all wrapped up!
Morning walks are so refreshing!! It buoys me up enough to face the day. especially as I'm an insomniac!! Love Kobe!! Definitely could live there. Hope you can return and investigate that older area looks fascinating!!
Before watching this I only knew kobe for their world famous beef. I really enjoyed the walk and the architecture really feels different from the rest of japan. Kind of like a clean and safe version of new york? Lol and the second floor of that starbucks looks so nice and cozy. Would love to visit someday!
I really loved watching this video, it was so peaceful and a bit magical to see a fancy beautiful area quiet and empty! I love Starbucks and this Starbucks was like an oasis.
There's a ferry connection from Kobe Airport to KIX that gets there in about 30 minutes - that's probably faster than getting to Narita from Nakano, but a bit slower than getting to Haneda... so on average I wouldn't expect the travel situation to be a detriment if you lived there. Plus it sits right at the treshold to the Setouchi area for weekend trips, which is freaking 🌺beautiful🌺.
Guys, we really enjoyed walking with you in Kobe!! The early morning walks are always nice and quiet.We were in the area last November with a group tour of Kyoto, Lake Biwa areas, and flew back to Naha from the island airport in Kobe. Thanks again guys for the walking tour!
The last time I was at Kobe, I stubbled upon Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens, it was very memorable. It has an onsen foot bath right at the top and you can enjoy the city view as you soak your feet.
During our visit to the Kansai region, we skipped Kobe because people (very silly people, I have just realized) told us the only thing worth doing there was eating Kobe beef (which we couldn't afford haha). For our next trip, we'll definitely visit Kobe. Thanks for posting this! I would love to walk these streets at 7AM (my husband would still be snoozing haha). I'd come back to the hotel with some goodies for him to eat when he wakes up. Several train lines to choose from to get around but for tourists, the JR pass is a good deal so that's the line we normally use. I love how you work together to give us information. Shinichi takes care of the running commentary and Satoshi takes care of the data verification--what year was the earthquake? What are the lines we can take to travel back to Osaka? Is it the right time to cross the street?
Shotengai are interesting, but even more so when it's with you and Satoshi! 🥰👍🏽 What a lovely and pleasant walk, you pick a good time to do it although most of the shops were closed. Thank you for this.
On the maps there looks like a park area, with waterfalls, is north of the Shinkansen station. Maybe it would be a nice place to explore. I think there is also a glass museum.
Hi shunchi after a long time i could view your videos It was a very peaceful n relaxing walk along video Beautiful place with nice architecture old n modern . Thank you fir the calm n cool video with super visual threat Stay blessed always
That steel work across from the Starbucks sure is nice. In construction, so much that goes on ALL contributes to the overall strength of a structure. Just putting up the steelwork has dangers. But if it can be done safely, lends a transparency to life. Sure looks nice.
Hello Shinichi san & Satoshi san, thanks for sharing as my family of 3 r planning to visit. I am concern if its worth the visit wz the impending JR Pass or rail ticket is increasing so much. We plan to move around Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto would u recommend renting a car instead? Would u do another Osaka and nearby prefecture anytime soon?

Kobe is stunning ❤
I agree!

This is a beautiful city! WOW! Kobe is now on my bucket list.

loved the walk. Been to Kobe one time and walked along the pier. I'll head to that starbucks for sure next time to relax in the morning.
Such a lovely walk.
That area at the 20:00 mark was marvelous, I really hadn't expected such an area
Beautiful and relaxing video. Enjoyed a lot of this morning walk.

I have been to Kobe, Japan. I miss this city or urban area if I'm right...Oishi, Japanese foods, amazing restaurants, etc.✈️🛫🍜🍛🍱🙇💚🇯🇵
I always enjoy your walks. Love the overcast sky.
I appreciate this walk ♡
Hi, greetings from Indonesia. I was here on march 2020 before covid. another beautiful place in kobe in my opinion Herbs Garden. ❤️
Very much enjoyed this video!
Your husband is so sweet, holding on to your shirt to prevent you from crossing against the light. ❤️
i grew up in kobe, but now live in HNL.. saw you guys at kakaako farmers mkt last weekend but from a distance heh.
I love your videos!! Thank you for sharing
My favourite Japanese!!
Awesome vlog bro
Shinichi, was this before or after Hawaii? How was Hawaii? Are you going to upload videos from Hawaii?
Shginichi, I used to live in the area. Thank you for triggering my old memories. Natsukashikatta yo!
Kobe is the best city in Japan 😃
Hello Shinichi san & Satoshi san, thanks for sharing as my family of 3 r planning to visit.
I am concern if its worth the visit wz the impending JR Pass or rail ticket is increasing so much.
We plan to move around Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto would u recommend renting a car instead?
Would u do another Osaka and nearby prefecture anytime soon?
That upstairs Indian restaurant near Sannomiya station, what was it's name?
Dude, you can take a 30 minute high speed ferry from Kobe to Kansai International Airport.
The communications tower sure is cool. When life gives lemons . . . MAKE lemonade! Instead of basic steel/iron work, creative.
I haven't been in Kobe yet...
Why do you have to wear a mask outside in fresh air, when you barely see any other people? I think it is kinda strange. Or is it mandatory in Japan?
It's not mandatory, it's more of a personal preference.
No graffiti and CLEAN sidewalks.
Flowers.
