Hidden Kobe: Shrine, Kimono, Street Food & Tea — A Local Walk

We'll meet at Sannomiya and head to Ikuta Shrine, one of Kobe's oldest and most beloved shrines, where I'll show you how locals pay their respects. From there, we'll wander into local kimono shops, stroll through Motomachi shopping street and Kobe's lively Chinatown (Nankinmachi), tasting local street food along the way. As a Japanese language teacher, I can also make the walk a fun chance to pick up a little Japanese as we go. We'll finish with a relaxing break at a traditional Japanese tea shop.

Additional costs: street food around ¥300–800 per item, and Japanese tea at the café around ¥600–1,500. You can choose and order whatever you like, so you're free to spend as much or as little as you want.
