Kōbe

Kobe is a city that mixes city life with nature. Imagine living just minutes away from mountains, the busy city, and the sea – that's daily life in Kobe! The city is very clean and safe, making it a good place for families. With nice parks and activities for kids, there’s always something to do. Being close to Osaka and about an hour from Kyoto means you can enjoy both cities. However, some people say that public transportation isn’t very extensive, so getting around might need some planning. The cost of living can be a bit higher compared to other cities, but many believe that the quality of life makes it worthwhile. Don’t miss out on Kobe’s local customs, like enjoying their famous beef and walking along the waterfront. Just remember that while many locals understand basic English, learning a few Japanese phrases can be helpful here. Overall, Kobe is a good place to explore and live!
