Kobe

It was time to move on from Kyoto and head down to Kobe, which is probably most famous for it’s extremely tender beef from cows that drink beer for most of their lives (this helps them relax and sleep a lot)!

Kobe is a beautiful city, with a strong mix of architecture influences from many countries over the world. Here are a few images I took while wondering around Kobe’s streets over the last couple of days.

Kobe beef at 1260 yen per 100 grams. As expected, there are some luxury butchers scattered around town that specialise in Kobe beef.

Love the hill at the end of this street!
