Such a beautiful bridge, spectacular and majestic, it is definitely worth a visit, and it is very convenient to take the subway. Sun Yat-sen’s former residence is also worth visiting. After seeing the bridge, I suggest you don’t forget to eat steak. Of course, it is the best restaurant in Kobe. You need to make an appointment, otherwise you have to wait in line for a long time. Be patient and you won’t feel it’s not worth it. It’s delicious, delicious!

The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge around Kobe is a small city that is very suitable for roaming. You can buy a ticket to enter the bridge and overlook the entire strait. The scenery is very spectacular. You can also walk outside the bridge to experience the pleasure of being blown by the wind. It is recommended to stay here for 2-3 hours to experience the beauty of this bridge. You can also arrange a walk in the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in the surrounding parks~

#100WAYS TO TRAVEL #Japan #Hyogo #MAiko #AKASHI #AKISHI fish tent Looking back on my 18-day solo trip to Japan in 2022 when the epidemic was just lifted JR Osaka Station → JR Maiko Station → Maiko Park, Maiko Marine Walk → JR Akashi Station (Akashi) → Uo no Tomo Shopping Street, Akashi Castle Ruins 【Maiko Sea Walking Trail】 From JR Maiko Station or Sanyo Electric Railway Maiko Park Station, walk for about ten minutes after exiting the station. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is an important passage connecting Kobe and Awaji Island. It is also the largest suspension bridge in the world. The Maiko Sea Walk is also planned on the pier. You need to purchase tickets to visit. After entering, take the elevator to the eighth floor. The first half of the bridge is On the general walkway, you can see the Akashi Strait through the iron window. The second half is made of tempered glass. When you look down, you can see the Akashi Strait at your feet. People who are afraid of heights must be very scared. 【Yuzhipeng Shopping Street】 Akashi Station is a station jointly constructed by JR and Sanyo Electric Railway. After exiting the station, pass through the building in front of the station and follow the overpass to Uonota shopping street. The shopping street is not long. The whole street has a roof. There are vegetable stalls, fishmongers, snack bars, etc. on both sides of the street. What I am most looking forward to is eating "Akashi Yaki". Akashi Yaki is similar to takoyaki, but the skin is made of egg buns. Yes, you can eat it with mustard, salt or soup stock. I didn’t expect it to be very delicious! ! I still can’t forget it! ! But I was very full after a whole portion by myself, and the portion is very large. 【Akashi Castle Ruins】 It’s about a ten-minute walk from JR Akashi Station. Akashi Castle is surrounded by Akashi Park. I didn’t see if I could walk up to it in the park. Later, when I returned to the station to catch the bus, I was waiting on the platform and turned around to see the ruins of Akashi Castle.

When it comes to eating beef, of course we have to eat Kobe beef fillet from Japan! I went to this barbecue restaurant in Kobe this time. I saw that the restaurant has won numerous awards, and there is even a Spider-Man for children to take pictures. I ordered two kinds of Kobe beef fillet this time, one is the championship grade and one is the ordinary grade, the difference is very big, the champion is really the champion, the meat is tender, beef flavor is plentiful, juicy and tender, makes people endlessly reminiscent! I order 120g each, the championship grade costs around ¥38,000, the regular grade is only ¥18,000 (I don't recommend ordering). I even ordered a piece of raw Kobe beef sushi, Mum! It's good to a point, even more... Finally I added five pieces 🍣
