As soon as I stepped inside, it felt like I traveled back to the Taisho era. The historical vibe here is amazing.

Fresh-ready hormone cuts, Zenryoku
This yakiniku spot keeps it low-key and casual with an old-school authentic izakaya pub vibe that solo and first-time diners love. Conveniently located just a 1-minute walk from JR Uchino Station, Zenryoku has become a fan favorite with neighborhood regulars and local university students since its doors opened in May 2024.
It has a real local vibe and specializes in freshly cut offal for yakiniku. There are tons of options, and the texture is super bouncy with a bit of crunch—the more you chew, the more flavorful it gets. The place is lively, perfect for grabbing drinks and BBQ with friends. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. If you love yakiniku and a casual drink, you'll love it here.

Daimaru Kobe
The Former Foreign Settlement of Kobe is a chic beautiful neighborhood with many classical buildings. One of the most attractive department stores in this area is Daimaru Kobe. Their building with a “classical but modern design” is in perfect harmony with the surrounding area. Arch corridors and gas streetlights, artfully arranged, provide a lovely and sophisticated atmosphere.
The exterior has that classic, elegant European style. The layout inside is great and the sections are clearly marked, so it's super easy to navigate—no chance of getting lost!

Kunimi
A Japanese restaurant right next to the Skytree, on the top floor of Solamachi. During the daytime, the Skytree towers gracefully over its surroundings, while at night, the scenery is fantastical.
This Japanese restaurant is on the 31st floor of the Skytree. I ordered the king crab set—this place is famous for its crab dishes.
