I thought Tokyo Port was already stunning, until I visited Kobe Port!

Kobe is truly a treasure destination for introverts—low-key, fun, and beautiful. Especially Kobe Port, which offers different vibes whether it's day or night. If you have 12 hours, I highly recommend a citywalk around Kobe Port. 🚡 Trip Highlights at a Glance ✔️ 360° panoramic view of the million-dollar nightscape from Kobe Tower ✔️ Stroll along the waterfront at Meriken Park + sunset on the Ferris wheel ✔️ Must-visit Anpanman Museum for families ✔️ Shop at MOSAIC Mall + Kobe beef dinner ✔️ Stay at the Oriental Hotel and wake up to ocean views! 🎡 Morning: Ferris Wheel + Anpanman Museum + MOSAIC Shopping ⏰ 9:30-12:00 1️⃣ Kobe Ferris Wheel (next to MOSAIC): Ride in a transparent cabin for a bird's-eye view of the port (💰¥800). Super romantic at sunset! 2️⃣ Anpanman Museum: A must for kids! (💰¥2,200/person) Interactive exhibits + limited-edition merch—pure childhood joy💥 3️⃣ MOSAIC Mall: A retro-industrial style mall with a perfect 2nd-floor terrace for Kobe Tower photos. Refuel with "Kobe Beef Teppanyaki"—recommend Wagyu Kuro (splurge on A5 if budget allows!). 📍 Afternoon: Kobe Tower & Meriken Park ⏰ 13:00-18:00 ▪️ Kobe Tower: Iconic red tower—don’t miss the observation deck (💰¥900). Stunning blue harbor views by day, even better at night (visit twice around dusk). ▪️ Meriken Park: A 5-minute walk from the tower. The seaside promenade is ultra-soothing, and snap a pic with the red "BE KOBE" sculpture📸! 🌃 Evening: Nightscape + Stay Kobe Port Nightscape: One of Japan’s top three night views. Kobe Tower lights up at 18:30—starlit reflections on the water are breathtaking😭 Stay: Oriental Hotel Meriken Park Rooms face the port, with balcony views of Kobe’s beauty! ➤ The hotel’s location is excellent, serving the most American-style breakfast I’ve had in Japan—authentic and delicious. 💡 Tips 🚇 Transport: Take JR from Osaka to "Kobe Station," then transfer to Port Liner for "Minato Motomachi Station"—super convenient. 🎫 Money-Saver Combo: Get the "Kobe Tower + Ferris Wheel" joint ticket to save ¥200. 🍴 Food: Must-try "Kobe Pudding" and "Rokkosan Pasture Ice Cream" at MOSAIC!
