Hi! I'm Angelica, your spirited host to Kobe's charms and chill vibes. After the 1995 earthquake, Kobe didn't just get back on its feet; it did a victory dance, and I've been grooving with it ever since. This city's like that cool, laid-back friend you can't help but love—less of the hustle and more about the huddle, especially with its warm-hearted locals who've practically adopted me! When I'm not meandering through Kobe's streets discovering new nooks and crannies, you'll find me crocheting or lost in a book at a cafe, reveling in the luxury of easily snagging a seat—take that, crowded city life! I've become quite the whiz with my camera, capturing Kobe's essence one snapshot at a time, and I've got a knack for uncovering those secret spots that make every outing an adventure. Ready to see Kobe through my lens and maybe find a new hobby along the way? Let's make some memories!

Angelica made sure we saw the real Kobe. We saw it from an observation deck. We went to Chinatown and sampled the street food. We went to a wonderful secondhand store and shopped until we dropped. We ended the day with a real Kobe beef meal. The day was perfect!

Angelica gave us a real tour of Kobe! We saw it from the observation deck and at the port tower. She took us to Chinatown to have a sampling of street food. We went to a restaurant and had real Kobe beef. It could not have been a better day. It was perfect!

Horrible meeting place. Train station signs poor indicator of where tourist information booth was located. I use Get Your Guide, and they meet at easily recognable local land marks.
