Kobe-Hiroshima Adventure Day 3

Day 3.

We moved to another hotel, Shinshuen Hotel, near the Kobe Station. Compared to Sannomiya area, this place was relatively quiet with many old fashion shops. The Hotel was also very close to Kobe's famous Harbour Land. So it was easy for us to go and explore the place.

Enjoy the pictures.

One fine morning in Kobe

Sannomiya station, the busiest station in Kobe

Kobe station-out of the buzz

Many interesting objects can be found along the street going to Harbour Land

Harbour Land's Mosaic offers wide selections of unique and expensive restaurants

Kobe's most popular radio station, Kiss FM 89.9

Harbour Land

If you come to Kobe, the port kobe cruise is a must. A few selections of ships are available and we ride this daring but adorable pink pirate ship.

Off we go for 45 minutes ride

Inside the ship

Another cruise heading back to mainland

I never saw a huge ship like this in my life-Aurica Leader, Singapore

Japanese navy ship

Kobe's most reputable workshop for ships, the Kawasaki Company. Can you see a submarine?

Harbour Land taken from our pirate ship. Ohhoiiii...

Our lunch. Cold soba noodle with raw minced mackerel and hot soba noodle with vegetable and seafood tempura. Yummy!

Illuminations along the way to Harbor Land

Even back of these whales illuminated at nights in Harbour Land

The gigantic ferris wheel at Mosaic Garden
