I think Kobe is port city, hilly, Chinatown, shopping town, Yakuza, and useless airport city.

Don't they have KOBE BEEF there? ><

You can write about how they can charge 300 dollars for a pound of extremely fatty cow meat

Actually... it tastes pretty good, but it is DAMN expensive.

Hmm, I should probably mention that I don't live too far away from a place here in the States where they actually raise Wagyu cattle for export. They are raised here to the correct specifications and then shipped to Kobe. Once there, they are slaughtered and ta-da : Kobe Beef.

Funny eh?

If the cow isn't killed in Kobe, its just Waygu beef.

I like the decent atomosphere of Kobe.
And you can easily get access to Osaka or Kyoto .

I visited there 5years after the Great Hanshin Earthquake.
Reconstruction had been almost finished at that time, but I heard many people still can't heal their
traumas.
Many people lost their familiy members,friends, or relatives in that tragedic earthquake.
So, please be considerate when you ask them about the Earthquake.

I hope you'll have a good time in Kobe.

Goeden dag.

Kobe? One of the safest cities I've ever lived in. You can walk the streets at 2 in the morning without having to worry about being mugged or anything. I've never actually eaten Kobe beef... seems like a waste of money, okonomiaki is better...

The city is definitly much smaller than Osaka, which is easily accessable by train. The city is quite hilly the higer up North you get, near the winery, though personally, the best places for shopping, having fun, etc are near the sea, where theres Chinatown in sannomiya or Harborland in kobe, Kobe.

There is a lot of green, since a large part of Kobe has wilderness and isnt completely concrete, away from the city. There isn't evidence left from the earthquake except for the memorial down in meriken park. There is also a gaijin community in Shioya.

Oh, and I almost forgot about the Akashi-ohashi, though thats near the border of Akashi and Kobe, but the bridge does look great at night.

I've lived in Kobe for over five years so I might be able to answer any questions. Have you tried the KTO/Japanfile website in English? it is for all of Kansai but there is a lot on Kobe. Also have you heard of the Rikai website? Put in the Japanese website's url on the Rikai website and then when you go to the Japanese language website and you drag your cursor over the Kanji it will give you the reading in kana and English.
