I have been to Kobe and Osaka, in western Japan.
First, I want to show you photos of Kobe.
Shinkansen super-exp. |
||
Japan's fastest train named "Shin-kan-sen" super-express. I took this train from my hometown to Kobe. Kobe is near Osaka, about 1.5 million residents are there. Miho-san is said to be brought up near Kobe. |

 |
| At Shin-Yokohama
station. Full-Colored display is so beautiful... |
Arrived at
Shin-Kobe station. It's like a train bound for Future.. |
Too long

After reaching Kobe city, I
hovered over KITANO area, at northern Kobe.
Kitano is famous for its beautiful scenery.
Many old-western-style houses are there.
Here are photos of Kitano,
please take a look !

Hotel Okura Kobe |
||
"Hotel Okura Kobe" is one of the popular hotels in Kobe. I once heard, bellboys in this hotel have a good reputation. I actually stayed one night, and felt bellboy's service was good indeed. However,, hotel charges are a bit expensive, and it stands far from JR stations.. |
