Touted as the caviar of meat, it is a type of wagyu beef that\u2019s known as one of the highest quality meats in the world. According to Masterclass, Kobe beef comes from the Tajima cattle strain of the Japanese Black Breed, which boasts great flavour, marbling, and texture. In fact, only 3000 to 5000 cattles meet the requirements each year. If you\u2019re going to Kobe, be sure to make a reservation early at top-rated Kobe beef restaurants to savour this delicacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pro tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019re travelling in a big group, it is highly recommended to make reservations in advance for your trip to avoid disappointments. For restaurants with high ratings (i.e 4.5 and above on Google or 4 and above on Tabelog, Japan\u2019s food review platform), you might have to reserve months ahead to secure a seat. The majority of restaurants in Kobe are very small, and many of them will turn you away if you\u2019re with a group of more than two pax.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sake<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_73672\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73672\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-73672 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/things-to-do-kobe-1.jpg\" alt=\"sake bottles \" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/things-to-do-kobe-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/things-to-do-kobe-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/things-to-do-kobe-1-230x153.jpg 230w, https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/things-to-do-kobe-1-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/things-to-do-kobe-1-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-73672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/q_LrF-o3XZ0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Thyla Jane<\/a> \/ Unsplash)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kobe is also home to Japan\u2019s top sake producing region, Nada.

You can also enjoy a meal and do some shopping at Rokko Garden Terrace, which is why it is one of the best places to visit in Kobe! At the attraction, there are four dining places and five shops to browse at. Many tourists recommend Granite Cafe, which serves aromatic teas and offers outdoor seating with stunning views.

To make the most out of your trip, head there when the cherry blossoms bloom, which is usually in early April.

Arima Onsen is most known for Kin no Yu and Gin no Yu, which are golden and silver hot springs. The golden brown hot spring is loaded with salts and iron, which offer moisturising effects and helps to prevent joint and skin diseases. On the other hand, the silver hot spring is transparent, and is effective in boosting blood circulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pro tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It may be tempting to combine your trip to Arima Onsen and Rokko Garden Terrace as they\u2019re in close proximity, but we recommend dedicating a day to Arima Onsen.
