Famous
for
its
luscious
beef
and
crisp,
pure
sake,
the
Japanese
port
of
Kobe
is
a
thriving
metropolitan
city
with
an
international
feel.
The
sake-brewing
season
runs
from
October
through
April,
and
that's
the
best
time
to
take
a
tour
of
a
kura
(the
Japanese
word
for
brewery).
Visit
the
Hakutsure
Sake
Brewery
Museum
year-round.
Naturally,
the
nightlife
here
is
prime
perfection.Checking
out
the
night
sights
Kobe's
central
location
between
the
mountains
and
the
sea
offers
you
an
eclectic
collection
of
sightseeing
and
day
trip
opportunities.
If
you
are
interested
in
getting
a
different
perspective
on
the
city,
you
can
scale
Kobe
Port
Tower
,
a
108-meter-high
observation
tower
located
on
the
city's
waterfront
between
the
Kobe
Harborland
entertainment
and
shopping
district
and
Meriken
Park
.
You
can
also
take
in
what
many
consider
Japan's
best
nighttime
view
by
swinging
up
the
Kobe-Nunobiki
Ropeway
,
which
scales
the
side
of
the
Rokko
mountain
chain,
to
a
breathtaking
panorama
of
the
city
lights
at
night.
For
a
completely
different
view
of
the
city,
there's
also
lunch
and
dinner
cruises
that
launch
from
Nakatottei
Chuo
Terminal
on
the
bay.
Scenic
walks
and
seaside
parks
Kobe
also
boasts
a
number
of
impressive
parks
and
waterfront
hotspots.
Check
out
the
famous
Sorakuen
Garden
,
a
traditional
Japanese
landscape
garden
in
the
middle
of
the
city,
or
consider
a
40-minute
hike
from
Shin-Kobe
Station
up
to
the
Kobe
Nunobiki
Herb
Garden,
passing
Nunobiki
Falls
along
the
way.
Chinatown
Kobe
is
home
to
Nankinmachi
,
one
of
Japan's
three
main
Chinatown
districts,
which
offers
plenty
of
street
food
and
bubble
tea.
It
is
about
a
5-minute
walk
from
JR
Motomachi
Station.
