During our last trip to mainland Japan back in June 2018, we visited 7 cities including Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Himeji, Hiroshima, Miyajima, and Fukuoka. On Day 4, after visiting the Himeji Castle, we rode the train back to Kobe for the afternoon. Can you tell we loved Kobe? Anyways, we walked through Kobe Chinatown, down Ikuta Road and visited the Ikuta shrine. We ended the day with a teppanyaki dinner before heading back to Osaka for our last night before heading off to Hiroshima.
