Osaka Part 2 (really Himeji castle and Kobe)

Melissa was our wonderful planner for the Osaka trip. We took a side day trip to Himeji Castle, which is one of the few original castles in Japan and to Kobe. Himeji is about an hour train ride from Osaka:



Kobe is on the way back (kind of in between). In Kobe, we stopped by the Earthquake Memorial Park near the Port of Kobe where damage from the earthquake in 1995 is still in tact:




We also passed through the Kobe Chinatown. And of course the main purpose for going to Kobe. KOBE BEEF!




Oh boy! I can say truly delicious. Mouthwatering. So tender. Steak will never be the same again. I'll get links to more pics that PC took. For now, here is a special video we took specifically for Livia. It's called "Last Bite" hehehe:
