神戸探索

中国出身のセイさんと神戸を探索しました。

北野坂という西洋の建物がある地域から始まって、
中心地の三宮、そして、海が見えるメリケンパーク、最後には麻辣湯という自分で食材を選んで厨房で料理してもらうスープを食べました。


I explored Kobe with Sei, who is from China.

We started in Kitanozaka, an area with Western-style buildings, then moved to the central district of Sannomiya, followed by Meriken Park with its sea view. Finally, we enjoyed Mala Tang, a soup where you select your own ingredients, which are then cooked in the kitchen.
