Participation is free. With the Kobe Port Tower in the background, the lights and splashes begin in time with the music. There was a puddle in front of me, so I was completely soaked. I thought it would be okay, but the water started to spread out at the end and I got soaked. Once the first show is over, the next show starts in 15 minutes, so there's no need to line up hours in advance to get a spot. This is the summer water festival, held for the first time in five years.

After strolling around the Ijinkan area, it started to get dark, but it was still early and I wasn't hungry, so I went shopping at Kobe Harborland. Harborland is located near Motomachi Station. It is a large place that combines shopping, food, entertainment, and hotels. It is also a great place to enjoy the night view of Kobe Port. Harborland's entertainment facilities include the Ferris wheel and the Anpanman Museum, so you can bring your children here to play for a whole day. Since my sister and I are adults and didn't have children with us, we just took photos outside the museum. There are many stores in Mosaic Shopping Center, including Kiddyland, which is loved by children, Sylvanian Families Store, Calbee Store, Kobe's famous Frantz, etc. It is definitely a shopping paradise for buying Kobe souvenirs. And there aren’t too many people here, so it’s much more comfortable than shopping in Shinsaibashi and Umeda in Osaka. My sister and I bought Kobe curry, Calbee snacks, Japanese paper crane earrings, etc. here. If Kobe wasn't the first stop of the trip, I might have bought more. In fact, Harborland has not only shops for shopping, but also many restaurants. But we planned to go to another place to eat tofu dishes, so we didn't stay in Harborland for dinner. All in all, Harborland is a place that is fun for all ages. I suggest that next time you travel to Kansai, consider taking the Hankyu train or JR from Osaka to Kobe for about half an hour. --------- 📬 Kobe Harborland 1-6-1 Higashikawasaki-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture #Harborland #kobeharborland #Kobe #calbee #frantz #AnpanmanMuseum #SylvanianFamilies #Motomachi #GreatPlacesInJapan

#Get a discount without relying on luck Many people who go to Kobe will miss meat, but we went for many days and eating only meat would be boring 😅 When we came to Japan, we wanted to try crab legs. We had eaten at Don in Osaka before, but it wasn't enough. There weren't many crab leg buffets until we found this place. The atmosphere is good, the price is good, the taste is good, the crab legs are fresh but cold, Japanese slices, the buffet line is great, especially the desserts, both Japanese and Western. The water is okay. We ordered 5 glasses of milk tea 😆 There is also alcohol (beer, sake ++ add 1999 yen). My husband tried beer and said the beer was good (if not buffet, 600 yen per glass). Hot Japanese/European style food, always refilled, freshly cooked and displayed in front of the shop (through glass). The taste is not strong-bland, it might not be to the taste of most Thais, but the ingredients are fresh (I recommend the large steamed fish, I don't know what it is, but the meat is sweet and bouncy, the grilled fish cheek is also good, the meat is very firm). Those who are on a clean diet should like it. (For us, if there is seafood sauce, lime, and a little bit of chili, it is awesome.) Normal sushi, adult price including water is less than 4,000 yen, children have 2 prices, from 3-6 years old and 7+. The name of the shop is fisherman's market, located on the 2nd floor of Mosaic shopping mall in front of Kobe Bay, beautiful view too 😄 I recommend booking in advance through Google, if the table is not full, you can enter before the time (I saw that there are tour groups from 6 pm - 7 pm, there are a lot of people during that time). We were there from 6 pm until 8 pm, paid first, and then sat as long as we wanted. There was no one to clean the table or waiter to serve, you have to clean the plates and separate the trash after eating. For us, the crab legs, dessert, and milk tea are worth it 😁

Here are some photos from Nha Trang and Belat. I'm going to Kobe, Kansai, Japan soon.

#japantrip Nestled between the Rokko Mountains and the sparkling waters of Osaka Bay, Kobe is a sophisticated city known for its charming atmosphere, rich history, and world-renowned cuisine. Start your journey in the iconic Kobe Harborland, a lively waterfront district perfect for a scenic stroll, shopping, and dining. Don’t miss the Kobe Port Tower, offering stunning panoramic views of the city and harbor. For a taste of luxury, indulge in the legendary Kobe beef, known for its exceptional marbling and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Many local steakhouses offer an unforgettable dining experience prepared right before your eyes. History enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the Kobe Kitano Ijinkan District, a preserved area showcasing European-style mansions built by foreign merchants during the Meiji era. Each house tells a unique story, blending Western architecture with Japanese influence. Take a break at Nunobiki Falls, a natural escape just a short hike from the city center, or ride the Rokko Cable Car up Mount Rokko for breathtaking views of Kobe’s city lights at night. For spiritual tranquility, visit the ancient Ikuta Shrine, one of Japan’s oldest Shinto shrines, surrounded by lush greenery in the heart of the city.

We took the Kobe Resort Cruise at Kobe Harborland. The best thing about the cruise is that you can see Kobe Airport from the cruise. Planes about to land pass directly above the cruise and land on the runway. We were able to see the planes from directly below, which was a valuable experience. From the cruise, you can see LCC planes. The breeze outside was pleasant and it was a great cruise. If you come to Kobe, we recommend the Kobe Resort Cruise at Kobe Harborland.

Station🚉: Harborland Station Price💰: None Attention‼️: There are lots of shops! The tower is also beautiful! If you go at night, you can see a very beautiful view! It seems that there are also cruises, so why not make it a memorable experience? Recommendation level👌:3 1. I won't go again! 2. Pretty average 3. Very good 4. So good that I would recommend it to someone! ⁡ ⚠️This is the situation when I visited. #0yentrip

#japantrip Kobe emerged as a major city nearby Osaka due to its proximity to the sea as a harbour town. I has a very similar design as Yokohama as both cities are the harbour city in Japan. We were walking around and reached Kobe Harborland to take some very nice night pictures, and the view does not dissapoint us at all. We were very mesmerized by the magnificient night view of Kobe tower and the city from Kobe Harborland, and just sitting down there admiring the seascape is also good enough for a night activity. We will never forget this experience and will definitely do it again when we visit Kobe.

Eat Kobe beef at Kobe Harborland

Amazing views. Relatively close walk to JR line. It is a great place for nighttime photos and a good place for a first date. Lotteria is located close by. Delicious burgers.

Introducing a gelato shop on the first floor of Mosaic in Kobe Harborland. "IceCreamUnited" produced by Lukas Podolski, a former German national soccer team player who also played for Vissel Kobe. The gelato is made with natural ingredients and is low in sugar, so it doesn't feel sticky on your hands, according to the shop assistant. I tried an ice cream burger with gelato ice cream sandwiched between two pieces of bread. It's a hot sandwich made by sandwiching cold gelato between brioche, a sweet bread, which is toasted until golden brown. It was my first time trying it, but it had a new texture and was delicious. #KobeGourmet #umieMosaic #GelatoSpecialtyShop

\\Recommended for walking with pets// This tower is located at the very end of Harbor Walk. It was about 46.3m tall. It was built in 1921 at Shinko Pier No. 4 and controlled the traffic of ships entering and leaving the port, but it ceased to function in 1990. After that, in 1992, it was moved to its current location to be preserved as a valuable building that conveys the history of the port. The flags displayed seem to represent "KOBE" and "UW (praying for safe voyage)". There is also a bench nearby, so you can relax while looking at the beautiful scenery of Harborland.
