    Hyogo Kobe-shi Chuo-ku Ikutacho 4-6-15
    "This bakery and cafe is located in the Ikuta-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe City. It was founded in 1924 by a German husband and Japanese wife team who popularized German bread in Japan, and were also the inspiration for the NHK serial television drama ""Kazamidori."" The bakery continues to bake not only German bread in a brick oven, but also cookies, pound cakes and other baked sweets, while the adjacent cafe serves sandwiches made with freshly baked bread, coffee and sweets."

    While the food is good and the atmosphere pleasent, its not anything /too/ unusual or impressive. The church is great for the aesthetics, the cakes and sandwiches are wonderfully presented, but its...

    アルバイトスタッフの出入りが激しい。まともなスタッフ教育もしない状態で客を選ぶ社員がおり挨拶もしない。総じてアルバイト、社員に限らずスタッフによって接客レベルや商品知識の差があり食べ終わっても、ずっと話し込んでいるマナーの悪い客にも注意もしないので混雑する時間帯は長時間待たされる覚悟が必要。そういう不当な扱いを受けることもあって利用を控えるようになりました。

    Located a five-minute walk away from JR Kobe Station. This store is based on the concept of an “All Day Breakfast”, although they don’t just serve breakfast, but have expanded to also serve lunch and dinner. It is a store where you can enjoy the taste and portions the same as the Hawaiian main restaurant. The interior of the store is bright, and is furnished in the image of the tropical islands of Hawaii; the staff are welcoming and it has a calm atmosphere. The pancakes with plenty of cream are popular. There is a high quality menu from which you can satisfy yourself with such as such as “Locomoco” (white rice topped with a hamburger patty, fried egg and brown gravy) and Eggs’n Original Burger.

    Hyogo Kobe-shi Chuo-ku Shimoyamatedori 2-5-5
    A tart specialty shop that got its start in Kobe in 1991. They make their superb tarts with lots of fine cream and seasonal fruit. Their colorful showcase is always packed with 12 to 18 varieties of mouth-watering handmade tarts. They make sure that the combination of ingredients in the recipes and decoration don't distract from the natural flavors of the ingredients themselves. The tarts are ideal for birthdays and anniversaries. You can also have one there along with coffee, black tea, or herb tea.

You can relax and spend time with them while watching through the glass of the beverage area or playing with them with their toys. There's also a transparent walkway that's great for getting photos of the cats from below as they sleep or walk around. It's also a plus that all cats receive three vaccinations, have weekly health checkups, and get shampooed at the shop by a pro.

Hyogo Areas

around-area-map

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
