Nagata Shrine
I went to “Nagata Shrine“.
After a typhoon, it is extremely hot.
To go there take a subway from Sannomiya to Nagata, Hanshin line is better.
I would like to tell you the subway line in Kobe are complexed.
Not familiar to the foreigners.
Look at the shape and colors.
Beautiful. Artistic.
I am interested in the design of any shrines and temples that why I visit them.
Kusumiya Inari
This is rare building to pray with Stingray.
In an ancient time Japanese ate stingray.
But in some day Japanese forgot to eat them.
It is an easy guess that Japanese found the things that tastes better than stingray.

People hope for stingray to cure illness.
Wow huge! “Tetsujin 28” famous manga character
Tetsujin 28 Famous Manga Character
I moved to Shin Nagata district.
There is a huge statue of “Tetsujin 28“.
“Tetsujin 28” is a character made by “Mitsuteru Yokoyama” who lived in there, Shin nagata district.
It started as manga but spread out as an TV animation, toys, many things.
I am not familiar with this character but I know it is worth to see.
Lunch at Nagata
Yuki Famous Okonomiyaki Restaurant
Okonomiyaki at Yuki Famous Okonomiyaki Restaurant
I took a branch at Nagata.
First restaurant is “Yuki“, okonomiyaki restaurant.
Okonomiyaki is an easy food.
First you make a thin crepe made with flour and put cabbage and beef, in this case, then bake like a pancake.
They say the original Okonomiyaki is made in this restaurant.
It tastes good and I do not care about the origin.
It cost you about US 5$. Very cheap and tasty.
Marugo Market Old Shop mall survived Kobe earthquake
I moved to “Marugo market” and ate Yakisoba, so to speak fried noodle.
The restaurant name is “Irichan“.
Very simple fried noodle.
There maybe no meat but cabbage.
You can add sauce to eat.
It cost you 3US$ so really cheap and tasty.

Moved to Rokko Mountain to see night view
Rokkou Mountain Cable car
I took JR train from Sannomiya to Rokko-dou. It takes 15 min and US1$.
From Rokko-dou you can take a bus to Rokko cable car station.
It takes 20 min and US1.5$.

Top of the mountain there is called “Rokko Garden”
