Kobe Animal Kingdom

If you’re ever in Kobe, Japan, and looking for something fun and a bit different, definitely check out Kobe Animal Kingdom. It’s a super interactive zoo where you can get up close with all kinds of animals—think capybaras, alpacas, owls, kangaroos, and even penguins. A lot of the animals roam around freely in certain areas, so you can walk right next to them, feed them, and sometimes even pet them. It’s especially great for kids or anyone who loves animals.One of the coolest parts is the bird show—birds literally fly right over your head, and it’s way more exciting than you’d expect. Most of the park is indoors inside these big greenhouse-style buildings, so even if the weather’s not great, you’re covered. If you want to explore the outdoor areas and it’s raining, they even lend out umbrellas.The place gets a lot of love for how close you can get to the animals, but there are a few mixed feelings about the size of the enclosures for some of the bigger or more exotic animals.

Most classic projects are roller coasters and the like. It is too exciting and too similar. The queue time is very long. I have not played a few projects all day. One of my favorites is the Jurassic boat tour. Remember to bring raincoats.

Kobe Kitano Ijinkan-Gai

The Kitano Inokan is generally a well-preserved Western-style complex built around the late 19th century by foreign merchants and diplomats. Each exotic restaurant retains its unique history and style. Whether it is punching in and taking pictures or experiencing exotic culture, it is full of surprises. There are also special cafes, grocery stores, restaurants in the neighborhood, which are super good to visit!

This sea tour hall has mixed reviews, I like it very much. Maybe people who say it is not very good mainly think that it is small, there is no animal performance, and the fun is worse. I like it because one is really very, very clean, there is no smell in the whole process, every glass display window looks past, whether it is water quality or amphibian activity area, are particularly clean. The pavilion is not big, but the fish on display are small to large, gradual, and make people feel orderly and rhythmic. The last "heavy play" is a variety of fish in the huge "fish tank". The protagonist is a whale shark. It is very dreamy with music. The coffee shop after coming out, the ice cream tastes good, and the sunset in Osaka Port is perfect.

Nice garden. Can see the entire Kobe port town and far away Osaka. Variety of flowers.

The Ctrip ticket needs to be exchanged on the first floor. The staff is very enthusiastic and patient, and the exchange is very convenient. The 5th floor is the observation deck, and the 6th floor is the top floor, but it was too cold outside so I didn't go. The observation deck has some small details. Each glass of the observation deck has a specific angle and a famous comic check-in place. The 4th floor is the art hall, and the rotating bar on the 3rd floor needs to be booked in advance.
