Travelogue Japan Day 4-Kobe port, Chinatown, Kobe beef

(Pics to be added later)
Kobe is a port town like Yokohama and are very similar to each other.  As far as modern day, they.both have ferris wheels and Anpanman museums.  Both areas are built up with shopping and entertaiment complexes.  Yokohama has a building called Landmark Tower and Kobe has an actual tower.

They also have Chinatowns.  Yokohmama's is much larger whereas Kobe is basically 4 city blocks that meet at a central location.  Its very touristy for such a small area.  Most businesses are restaurants or street food vedors. souvenir shops fill in the rest.  Its right on between Kobe and Sannomiya stations and a few blocks south of Motomachi station

For dinner, I ad to go back for more kobe beef.  Steakland is a causal teppanyaki place and does not need resrvations.  Again I had the beef dinner.  It was prepared much the sameway as lunch but there was an additioa.  It does see nl seafood dish and 200 grams of meat.  I felt the beef to be more tender here.  Wakokqu had a bit more chew.  They used butter instrad of the beef fat.  However thry cooked up the fat with bean sprouts as well.  I left this place feeling more satisfied.  It is  bit much but this was my splurge day
