The city of Kobe is a unique mix of Japanese and western influences. This is mostly because it is one of the oldest cities in Japan that first opened to the western world. Another famous characteristic of Kobe is Kobe beef (Kobe wagyu). As Kobe is only 33km away from Osaka, it’s considered a popular one-day trip destination for travellers.
If you are planning a one day trip to Kobe consider one of the following restaurants.
KOBEGYU STEAK SAI-DINING is a teppanyaki steak restaurant that offers many courses with carefully selected A5 Kuroge wagyu together with high quality vegetables chosen by their own vegetable sommelier. All the seats are counter seats. Lunch course starts from JPY 3,850, dinner from JPY6,000.
You can find them about a 6 minute walk from Sannomiya Station (west 1 exit) or a 4 minute walk from Motomachi Station (East exit).
