I’ve lived in Kobe for 21 years
I speak English, Japanese and some French
I am an English teacher.
Hi, I’m Mari! Kobe is such a special place to me—I love how the city blends Western influences with traditional Japanese heritage. Whether it’s the stunning views from Mt. Rokko or the vibrant streets of Nankinmachi (Kobe’s Chinatown), there’s always something new to discover. I’m often wandering the streets of Motomachi, Harborland, and Shin Kobe, seeking out hidden gems and delicious restaurants. If you’re looking to explore Kobe’s bustling markets or uncover the city’s best-kept secrets, I’d love to show you around!
