The situation on the first day is as follows.here』
The situation 2 days ago is ``here』
Kobe Sauna & Spa
Kobe's famous sauna shop ``Kobe Sauna & SpaI was staying at ``.
I woke up around 6:00, enjoyed the morning bath and sauna, and took advantage of the free breakfast buffet.
After that, I went back to sleep. .
After waking up, enjoy the bath and sauna again, check out, and head to Sannomiya Station.
Koyoken
Take the train from Sannomiya Station and arrive at Akashi Station in about 15 minutes.
First of all, we decided to fill up on Akashi's long-established restaurant, which is also known as Akashi's soul food.Koyoken” I visited.
Yakisoba and wonton noodles are an unusual combination, but they were delicious.
Takoiso Annex
Next, we will have Akashiyaki (tamagoyaki), a specialty of Akashi.
While taking into account holidays, location, volume, etc.Takoiso Annex” I visited.
The flavor of the egg and the soup stock were impressive, as if I was eating chawanmushi.
Akashi Castle
I had about 20 minutes until my train to my next destination, so I visited Akashi Castle.
There are castles whose castle towers have been destroyed and no longer exist, but Akashi Castle did not originally have a castle tower built.
There are various theories as to why it was not built, so I will not discuss it here.
I didn't know where the entrance was, and I had time to catch a train, so I just stopped by and called it a day.
Eigashima Sake Brewery
From Akashi Station, take the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line and arrive at Nishi-Eigashima Station in about 15 minutes.
It's about a 10 minute walk from here, and we will be visiting this time.Eigashima Sake Brewery” has arrived.
We toured a sake brewery and a whiskey distillery and sampled some.
I learned a lot about sake and whisky, and most importantly, the drinks were delicious.
Grill Ippei
After the tour, we will return to Sannomiya.
When you arrive at Sannomiya, you will find the ``Grill Ippei”.
When I looked in on Saturday and Sunday, there was a line of over 20 people waiting to see me off.
As expected, it was 15 minutes before the store opened and on a weekday, there was only one other customer, so I was able to enjoy the famous beef cutlet without any problems.
Ikuta Shrine
Next, we will visit Ikuta Shrine.
It is one of the shrines that represent Kobe, and is also the origin of the name Kobe.
It's in the middle of the city.
Korosue Shoten
Next up is Kobe's famous liquor store, ``Korosue Shoten” I went to Mr.
I sampled a whiskey that was released a while ago and that caught my attention.
It was delicious, so I bought it too.
I like to buy brands that I taste and think are delicious, so I'm jealous of the people in Kobe who have liquor stores that offer tastings like this.
Liquor Museum Kobe Sannomiya Branch
There was still time until the plane, soLiquor Museum Kobe Sannomiya Branch' I'll take a break.
There was an outlet on the counter so I could charge my smartphone, which was very helpful.
I had planned to go home after having a few drinks, but I had a much better time than I expected and ended up staying until the last minute to catch the train to the airport.
Kobe airport
Arrival at Kobe Airport.
It takes less than 20 minutes from Sannomiya to Kobe Airport by Portliner, and although there are fewer flights, access to the airport is about the same as Fukuoka.
It wasn't crowded and I was able to get through the security checkpoint quickly.
There is no airline lounge, only a credit card lounge, but there was barely one seat available so I was able to sit down.
It was boarding time and we departed.
So, our 2 nights and 3 days trip centered around Kyoto and Kobe Sannomiya is over.
Impressions
I visited Kyoto for the first time in about 4 years since I visited before the coronavirus, and Kobe Sannomiya for the first time in about a year since I visited last year for Whiskey Harbor Kobe.
It's been 4 years since I last visited Kyoto, and it felt fresh, and there are still many places I want to visit, such as shrines, temples, and restaurants.
On the other hand, it's been a year since I've been to Kobe, so it didn't feel fresh.
If you're having trouble choosing a restaurant, you'll want to stick to stable foods like yakisoba and gyoza.
I tried to change things up a bit by going to Akashi, but I can't help but feel stuck in a rut. .
It looks like Whiskey Harbor Kobe will be held again next year, so I think I will visit Kobe again, but I think my personal challenge is how to make changes.
