Impressions of Osaka and Kobe
December 2008
Osaka
Panoramic view from our hotel
While window-shopping in Kita-ku
Bustling Dotonbori street with plenty of bars and restaurants, where we had extremely yummy "okonomiyaki"
Kobe
We first took a walk around the bay area...
...and then went on strolling though the little streets of the "European" quarter, which, with its "fusion of styles", reminds of Kobe's role as one of the most important ports when Japan re-opened to trade with the western world in the late 19th century.
