Join us on an exciting day trip from Osaka as we explore the cities of Himeji and Kobe! 🌟

We started our adventure early in the morning, taking advantage of our JR Pass for a seamless journey. Our first stop was the majestic Himeji Castle, where we marveled at its stunning architecture and explored its fascinating interiors. Next, we visited the serene Koko-en Garden, a beautiful oasis of traditional Japanese landscaping.

After a quick 15-minute ride on the Shinkansen, we arrived in Kobe, ready to dive into its lively atmosphere. We strolled through the bustling shotengai (shopping street) and wandered through the vibrant Chinatown, enjoying some delicious snacks along the way. The highlight of our culinary experience was savoring a melt-in-your-mouth A5 Kobe beef steak at the renowned restaurant Mouriya. 🥩

As the day came to a close, we headed to Harborland to witness a the magical lights illuminating the night. Finally, we made our way back to Osaka, reflecting on an unforgettable day filled with cultural discoveries and mouthwatering delights.
