Chinatown

Kobe's Chinatown is the largest and most extensive in Japan after Yokohama. Although there are Chinatowns in several Japanese cities, the Kobe one is special because it has all the ingredients of a Chinatown without being very extensive. The arch that indicates the beginning and already smells of Chinese food being cooked in the street stalls, the colorful costumes change in these streets like you've taken a leap geographically, experiencing a strange mix between China and Japan which you do not find Chinatowns in the West. If you go to Kobe, this is an essential place to visit along with the port.
