The Place
Kobe, Japan
City introduction
Beef, harbor views and a mountain at the end of the street. Kobe is Japan's cosmopolitan port: the beef that needs no introduction, a harbor-front promenade with the best night views on the Seto Inland Sea, Kitano's western merchant houses, and Mt Rokko's trails starting where the streets end. Easy day trip from Osaka — better as an overnight.
