Kobe

We spent an afternoon in Kobe. It was an easy Shinkansen ride to Shin-Kobe station. Unfortunately it was pouring while we were there, and the city was actually partially evacuated the next day for land slides. That being said, we’d definitely recommend both things we did!

Misono Steakhouse We took advantage of their lunch special and sat overlooking the city. We ordered one regular filet and one Kobe filet and shared. Turns out we actually preferred the regular Filet which was 1/10th the price!
