I've checked out both Mt. Rokko and Mt. Maya for night views, and honestly, the view from Mt. Maya is much wider—you can see Osaka, Wakayama, Shikoku, and more. Seeing Kobe's beautiful nightscape made the trip totally worth it.

Nagi Museum of Contemporary Art
Opened in 1994, the Nagi Museum of Contemporary Art is located in Nagi, Katsuta District, Okayama Prefecture-a town known for its harmonious coexistence of nature and art.
The entire museum building feels like a work of art. The three permanent exhibits are integrated with the architecture, so it feels like you're stepping right into the artwork. The space with the changing light and shadows is especially impressive and peaceful—I couldn't help but stay there for a while. It's not a big museum, but every corner invites you to slow down and take it all in. If you love art or photography, you'll fall in love with this place. The atmosphere is calm and inspiring.

Pâtisserie Mont Plus
A famous confectionary shop that is very popular, even amongst many other Kobe City confectionery shops. The confectionary is heavily French influenced, and is favored by the Chef.
I came here after seeing so many TV and magazine recommendations. Tried the cheesecake, and the rich cheese flavor really lingered after each bite. Paired with a special coffee, it was perfect 🥰

Nankin-machi (Nanjing town)
"Nankin-machi" (Japanese name for Nanjing town) in Kobe is one of the three best Chinatowns in Japan, along with Yokohama Chinatown and Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown. There are more than 100 Chinese restaurants, Japanese and Western restaurants, grocery stores, general stores, and many other stores lining the streets.
It's really similar to Yokohama Chinatown, but Nankin-machi is a bit smaller. The Chinese food here is mostly adjusted for Japanese tastes and tends to be a bit pricey. The food didn't really catch my interest, so I just wandered around and took some photos.
