Arrival to Kobe

Saturday, November 12, 2011
Kobe, Kinki, Japan
By the time we got to Kobe, we were completely exhausted. Maran fell asleep before the second flight (Tokyo - Kobe) even took off the ground. I saw a bit of Tokyo from the airplane's window and even caught a glimpse of fireworks (probably launched in Tokyo Disneyland) before falling asleep as well. After the flight we hopped on the automatic monorail to Koby's Sannomiya train station, then navigated a maze of nameless streets (no time to figure out Japanese address system) and finally arrived to the hotel! The room is small but nice, it has a fancy Japanese toilet and yukatas to wear :)
While walking to the hotel we noticed how many small restaurants and random weird places have promoters outside, jumping on the passersby . The streets themselves look crazy, like something from anime. It's a completely different experience, for sure!

So how did you find the hotel without reading street names? :)

Link from "yukatas" still goes to the toilet :)

In what way do the streets look crazy?

See you in 8 days! =)

We used maps to find the place! You'll see what I mean about the streets pretty soon!
Btw, yukatas were fake, they had buttons.. So we didn't try them on :)

Unfake yukatas are not supposed to have buttons? :)
