Visiting Kobe, Japan


If it weren't for the museum dedicated to the devastating 1995 earthquake, you might never know that Kobe suffered a natural calamity. Today this Japanese port town is a thriving metropolitan city with an international feel. The sake brewing season runs from October through April and it's the best time to take a tour of a kura (the Japanese word for brewery) or visit the Hakutsure Sake Brewery Museum year-round. The nightlife is happening, and, of course, the Kobe beef is celebrated worldwide.

新神戸駅のすぐそばにあるホテルです。 旅行の拠点には最高ですね。 館内は広々として、とてもおしゃれな雰囲気です。 高級感あふれています。 高層階のお部屋からは、神戸の美しい夜景が見られるようです。 お部屋は、ベットの硬さが丁度良く、ゆっくり休むことができました。 ツインに大人2名+添い寝幼児の3名で宿泊したのですが、添い寝の幼児の分の タオルや歯ブラシも用意してあり感激しました。 ホテルから地下鉄の駅が直結で、三宮方面への観光にもとても便利でした。 また泊まりたいです。 more

1室、シングル、素泊まりで¥8.000でした。安いですね。しかし、夜景はまあまあきれいですが、他に特筆する点がありません。サービスも部屋もいたって普通です。しいていえば立地がよいことですか。 more
