Meriken Park, Harbor Land in Kobe(神戸), Hyogo Prefecture ~Kobe Bay Cruising~

Posted on

It’s about an one hour ride from Kyoto Station to Kobe by JR.

My recommendations are the Sannomiya area with its continuous shopping arcades, Chinatown, and the Harborland area. In this article, I will introduce Harborland.

There is a huge shopping mall “umie” in this area. Adjacent to the mall is “umie mosaic”, which is also lined with restaurants and stores.

There are short (40-45minutes) cruises and ones that include a meal.

The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge can be seen in the distance beyond

Kobe has a variety of tourist attractions, all of which are very interesting because of their regional characteristics to see and experience.
