Rokkou, Kobe - Kobe Beef, Mt. Rokkou, Arima Onsen

2015-08-14 (Kobe Beef, Mt. Rokkou, Arima Onsen)

Before leaving Japan, I really wanted to experience the infamous Kobe beef. How can I not try Kobe beef before I leave Kobe?

Hankyu is having a promotion this year with “Yoma. Rokku 1 Day Pass.” The pass provides unlimited bus/train/rope way ride from any station that Hankyu operates in (including Kitasenri!) and access to a list of attractions with a ticket to Golden Onsen in Arima for just 2560 Yen!

By taking just Hankyu from Kitasenri + the roping way to Arima is already well worth the cost. (Plus you get access to Kobe Sannomiya Station!)

Rilakkuma themed Hankyu train!

I came across this restaurant when I explored the Kobe underground mall one day and I saw the tons of awards displaying from the windows. I have been wanting to give it a shot for long =]

Kobe Beef Soup / Appetizer
Really rich in beef flavor. Perfect match with the French bread

Kobe Beef Salad

Japanese dressing salad with two pieces of medium rare Kobe beef filled with buttery juicy taste

Kobe Beef Tomato Soup

Main Course – Kobe Beef

Wasabi Sauce – refreshing taste. really loved it

Special Sauce – Great mixture with the Kobe beef

Dessert

After I filled my belly with some delicious Kobe beef, I continued my journey to the one of the three best places for night views in Japan, Mount Rokku.

If I remember it correctly, there are two ways to get to Arima: one way is to take JR (which is also included in the pass); the other way is to take the bus with the rope way (for sure I want to take the rope way haha!)
