Japan Firsthand: Kobe (神戸市) Photojournal


After Himeji, here's a quick look at beautiful Kobe; with its many towers and bustling Chinatown. All pictures by CRIMExTHINK (click for larger resolution)

Chinatown (南京町)
Kobe has a beautiful Chinatown, rebuilt in 1995 after the earthquake. Of course Kobe beef can be enjoyed here.
The area is surprisingly large and charming. Let's hope that this is an indication of things to come for the northeast.

Kobe Tower was closed early because of strong winds (apparently)

I wish this thing said MOSAIC.WAV in the back, but close enough.

A bunch of Mini-Cooper nerds assembled for a photo-shoot.
They tried lining them up properly for what seemed like an hour.
