Sannomiya 三宮

Sannomiya is the current city center of Kobe and is much more densely packed with tall office buildings and retail centers than where I currently live in Higashinada. Sannomiya is also a hub of many transportation systems in Kobe, but compared to central Tōkyō is much smaller and in my opinion the people and friendlier and warmer. Kobe is known for its bread and cakes as well as for its shoes and is the home of many large high-end retailers from throughout the world. This is a view of a section of Sannomiya as seen from the 20th story of a building adjacent to the main train station.
