Kobe Street Foods, Bay Area Cycling, and Harborland Park Shopping Mall Ep.414

[@ksenijacizek5901]

Awsome video - Kobe is a nice seaside town. I remember your winter visit while you were freezing and now what a contrast in the heat. Hoping it has not been too hot for E-biking. Enjoying the shaved ice at the terrace close to the ocean must be a great fun. Although it would be nice to see Kobe from above, as it would be too scary for you dear Rion it would not be worth trying it. Sorry for bad weather comming soon, but on the other hand you might have some brake from your usual hard work. Please, enjoy your rest peacefully. Until the next video stay safe and happy - GAAOO!!!

[@tns-rox]

More edited videos. Lovin' it! Arigatougozaimasu, Rion, for introducing me to beautiful Kobe. I enjoyed your walk through Chinatown and the Bay area. Your behind the scenes ending made me smile. 👍

[@mattsmith3135]

Going by this video, Kobe hasn't changed much since we visited a few years ago. We went to the Anpanman museum (although didn't know anything about Anpanman, so we were slightly bemused), and also on the Ferris Wheel in the rain. There was an Elvis convention on at the time, so there were many impersonators wandering the streets too! The thing that really stuck in our heads was the number of bakeries in Kobe... the smell of sugar and pastries filled the air.

I watched your videos all throughout the pandemic when I couldn’t travel. They inspired me to be patient and persevere. Now, I’m watching you explore my hometown here in Japan and it’s surreal but amazing ❤ I love living in this city and there are some amazing mountain trails to explore and get a super view of the city from ✨

[@chasefromalabama]

I love how the train stations in Japan are all like little cities of their own.

[@glennconst5248]

This video brought back great memories when I was in Kobe. I went on the concerto night cruise for dinner was amazing.

[@NULLDIVISIONofficial]

Hey Rion! I wanted to share a story with you. I finally had a chance to go to japan for my first time with my significant other back in 2022. We found this really nice izakaya 10 minutes from akihabara called Sushi Bar R/Q. Before this trip I had been watching your videos and had learned "Meccha oishi". The sushi we had at RQ sushi was amazing, and so I told them "Meccha oishi!". The masta and madam of the house looked at me a bit strangely, but the madam warmed up to me a lot because of it! It turned out she was from Kobe, and they taught me that "Meccha" was more popular in the kansai region. I had no idea! It really made for an awesome experience, and wanted to thank you for that :)

[@jojovillaflor8302]

I was in Kobe in 1980...a long time ago. We stayed at the Kobe Portopia Hotel. There was the Kope Expo near the hotel. I hope I can gi back...

[@effie-Toronto]

Rion excellent video thank you for all the information

[@FuuHolliday]

Thank you for streaming and making videos. I miss Japan so much and your videos means alot!

[@aphishoutofwater]

Sleeping on a train and missing the stop 😆 too many memories!

[@christycpark]

Had fun travelling with you to Kobe and I was giggling at your behind the scene. I just knew it! LOL! Kobe is a nice place and I last visited in 2011, that's so long ago. I should plan to visit again. Loving it!

[@ivycarlastories]

[@moff8631]

I’ve always wanted to see Kobe so thanks

[@XYoukaiX]

We have something similar to your hanbagu steaks in my Country called Frikadellen, minced meat with traditionalle old bread that was put into milk to get soft and several spices plus onions. depending on the region its either minced very fine or only slightly giving it different mouth feeling.

[@pres002]

Also the OC card only work for Iphone and Japan Android. if you have any Android not from Japan it will not work. however we should be able to buy the Welcome card still or in Osaka and get the Ic one there

[@OnePieceRick]

Right. I was trying to figure it out stateside in preparation for my upcoming trip to Japan. Apparently, the Japanese phones have something the foreign phones do not that allows connection to IC card. One thing I am considering is buying a Japanese Google watch so I can connect my Suica to it, but idk if it's worth the cost.

[@romychar]

@@OnePieceRickyou can still buy welcome suica, which is for 28 days

[@Bagellatte]

thanks for sharing kobe sights! i have a friend staying in kobe, next time hope to visit him there!

[@FlixKnacks]

Thank you for this video, Rion! I'm visiting Osaka and Kobe by the end of August. Your videos are always fun and helpful! Hope to see you or bump into you! Gaaoo!!! 🥳🎊

[@UKSimon4170]

The character in the claw machine (4:46) was from "Sean the Sheep". It's a British Kids TV series from over here in the UK.

[@RionIshida]

👍

[@rexb4347]

You are so precious! I am so happy I found your channel! I hope I run into you when I'm in Japan in November!

[@deshungrant31]

Loving it!❤❤❤

[@pamelagordon869]

Morning Rion love your videos ❤❤❤

[@ronmel1661]

Thank you! Useful for my upcoming trip to Osaka w a side trip to Kobe

[@MrGundawindy]

I have heard others explaining the Suica issue. Apparently it is too many people like me that kept the card for a souvenir. I didn't realise there is a chip shortage. Also, I have heard people say that the app on the iPhone only works on Japanese iPhones.

[@sachij7636]

Thank you for sharing your trip to Kobe with us! I hope you'll be able to ride on a Ferris wheel one day!

[@ororodrf4150]

😂 Rion, that wasn't a panda; it was Shaun the Sheep😄 I really enjoy your walking and exploring videos! Thank you for showing the rest of the world your cultural normalcies. 👍🏿

[@_EnEm_]

Biking around the quiet port and beautiful bay area was just so relaxing! A must-try food in Kobe I would love to eat... wagyu beef, and sweet potato shaved ice cream in summertime!😊

[@jonathansakura]

Greetings from Kyoto 😊❤

[@SouBuuS]

Yeesssssssssssssssssssss! I will be in Kobe for 1 day before going back to Tokyo! I will follow your guide. Thank you!

[@paripitiffany]

Really inspiring to see how Kobe could be an easy & fun day trip from Osaka. 🤩 And so sorry for the bland broth… Having grown up around LA’s Chinatown, I’m so used to & quite enjoy these noodle soups. 😂😅 Whenever I got sick, I always asked my mom to get rice noodle soup with a large roast duck leg. 😋 When you go to HK, get roast goose-it’s even more meccha oishii.

[@dennistani1986]

Rion, greetings from Okinawa, Japan. We just had a string typhoon here last week. Everything is fine, although we did have the power out for 2 days. Take care!

[@araucaj7]

I like this format of video 😊

[@viviviews8496]

loved the behind the scene footage, so funny and cute!

[@purpleglasses731]

Can't watch now but I'm sure it was a great adventure ☺️ Update- noooooo those crane machines are so hard. 😢 Thanks for the hard work. I always enjoy watching the scenery when you are biking. Very relaxing 😌

[@rwpgng]

Thank you for sharing Rion! Love the tour guide!

[@hwooi1986]

Acrophobia in action, that is probably not idea state for Ferris Wheel or Cable car? Wasabi mayo clear sinuses very well during cold/flu. I heard Muji has new Air BnB featuring traditional japanese home concept. Maybe you can try out one day?

[@RionIshida]

Arigatoooo Kedderick! I wish I could enjoy that😖 Yes, Muji hotel! Hope I can try that too in the future!

[@hwooi1986]

@@RionIshida Maybe one day you could try the one at Nagoya first? Since it's mounted at the mall, should be safer?

[@rubysy2531]

The claw machine cuddly toy was Shaun the sheep, he was in the film Wallace and Gromit the close shave. I love all Wallace and gromit films, especially the grand day out film, they went to moon because they ran out of cheese.

[@fhavenai]

i love u more behind the scenes 😍😍😍😍

[@juliatung8883]

Love your video. It is so informative and you are so fun to watch! Thank you!

Went to Kobe in late March, China Town, waterfront, took the cable car to the top of the Mountain and went to 2 different sake breweries, it was a fun day. Lots of terrorist were there that day as well

I think you mean tourists instead of terrorists 😂

If I was there, I'd spend my entire life savings shopping haha. I would have to bring the book "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels. 🤣

Only several times!

[@noritakaakamatsu9713]

From Osaka to Kobe takes about one hour? I think that’s misleading. Most people think Umeda as the Osaka station. From Osaka Umeda to Kobe Sannomiya takes only 30min by JR.

[@drtienyuchang]

can you give me a recommendation for a place to eat kobe beef in kobe ? thanks

[@ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣΝΠΑΠΑΣΤΑΘΗΣ]

1 hour with a transfer in between... pretty average in Tokyo

Osaka to Kobe for only 3 bucks

You must have been there early. I live in Kobe and don't eat in Chinatown. It's over priced and the food is not good. In addition Kobe beef is over rated and over priced.
