Kobe, encounter unexpected leisure and beauty🌊

My family members, I must vindicate Kobe! I had always heard people say that Kobe was boring, and it was not originally on my Kansai travel plans. I had originally planned to go to USJ that day, but it happened to be the peak season for students during the spring break in Japan, so I gave up and headed to Kobe instead. Unexpectedly, this alternative town became the most unforgettable place for me. Kobe is really quiet, perfect for people like me who don't like crowds. When the weather is good, the whole city looks like it has a blue filter, so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it. Buy a cup of fragrant coffee, stroll leisurely on the street, wandering aimlessly, that feeling is super chill, and all the tension in the body disappears. I have to mention the Wagyu beef in Kobe, it is really amazing, melts in your mouth and tastes amazing. Once you have eaten it, you will always think about it. In Kobe, there is a comfortable living atmosphere. Unfortunately, I was too rushed this time and didn’t have the chance to take a good look around the countryside of Kobe, but that’s okay, I’ll definitely come back if I have the chance. If you also want to find a quiet place to relax and taste delicious food, Kobe is really a good choice. I believe you will fall in love with its unique charm! #Kobe #JapanTravel #Kansai #JapaneseFood #RelaxingTime

Kobe Chinatown Nankin-machi

Kobe Nankinmachi The three major Chinatowns in Japan are "Kobe Nankinmachi", "Yokohama Chinatown" and "Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown". This time I went to Kobe, so of course I had to go to Nankinmachi! Nankinmachi is the common name for a narrow area between Motomachi-dori and Sakaemachi-dori in Chuo-ku, Kobe City, and is also a registered trademark of the Nankinmachi Shopping Street Revitalization Association. It is a Chinatown full of Chinese flavor. It is one of the three major Chinatowns in Japan, along with Yokohama Chinatown and Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown. There are about 100 stores concentrated in an area about 200 meters wide from east to west and 110 meters long from north to south. Kobe's Chinatown is called Nankin Street, which is written as "Nankin Machi" in Japanese characters. It is located near Motomachi Station in Kobe. It is one of the three Chinatowns in Japan and is smaller than Yokohama Chinatown. The formation of Kobe Nanjing Street can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty. In 1867, when Kobe Port was opened, foreigners from countries that had trade treaties with Japan mainly lived in the foreign settlement in Kobe. Since the Qing Dynasty did not have a trade treaty with Japan, the Chinese at that time could only live outside the settlement. Therefore, the Chinese began to gather in the Motomachi area adjacent to the settlement, and gradually formed the current Nanjing Street after many years. The picture above shows the street view of Chang'an Gate in Kobe Nanjing Street (Nanjing Town) in the early years. On the left is the Beijing City Hotel, a Chinese-style building with very Chinese characteristics. Now both sides have been turned into high-rise buildings and have lost the atmosphere of the early years. The central location of Nanjing Street is Nanjing Street Square, where there is a purely Chinese-style dome-shaped street pavilion. Visitors can rest here and overlook the bustling street scene of Nanjing Street from the pavilion, which is quite interesting. There are also twelve stone statues and ancient costume photography spots around the street pavilion where you can take photos. When I was in Nankinmachi, I had eaten meat buns from a local old shop called "Lao Xiang Ji". Since I was revisiting the old place, of course I had to try the food I had eaten back then to reminisce. When I walked to the door of the shop, I thought I wouldn't have to queue for a long time, but I was immediately reminded by the Chinese-speaking security lady that I had to queue on the other side of the aisle... I turned around and saw that the queue was extremely long. The buns are made and steamed in the store. You can actually eat in, but the space is too small so we chose to take out. Each bun is 90 yen, but you must buy at least 3 at a time (270 yen). I watched the chef take out three meat buns from the big steamer, put them on bamboo leaves and then wrap them in oil-absorbing paper. I felt that the packaging had a very old-fashioned flavor. After taking it out of the store, I started eating it directly on the roadside. It was still quite hot when it came out of the steamer. The buns are about the size of two bites, and look a bit like the xiaolongbao (small dumplings) from Hualien. The bun skin soaked with gravy is very chewy and moist, but a little greasy; the bun filling is salty, you can try it when you go there #日本旅行 #美食日常 #Kobe #Nanjingmachi #Laoxiangji
