Kyoto-Kawaramachi Station

I'm meticulously planning my trip with my family to Japan this summer. When I'm back I'll update this itinerary and share it with who wants it :)

Osaka Bay views, extensive Chinatown snacks, and a world class standard of beef. Kobe can be easily reached within 1 hour on train routes from Kyoto and Osaka, making it the ultimate day trip destination on your Japan travels. This guide features a locally-curated list for your day trip to Kobe, from morning to evening. You can find essential restaurants, cafés, sightseeing locales, Instagram spots, and shopping destinations - perfect for your one-day excursion.
