Live from Nankinmachi, China Town Kobe🥳 #livestream #vlogjapan

Join us as we explore the vibrant celebrations of the Spring Festival in Kobe Nankinmachi Chinatown. I started live from Motomachi station and walked towards China town. This historic district comes alive with colorful lanterns, traditional performances, and mouthwatering street food during this auspicious time.

Japan boasts three major Chinatowns, each with its unique charm: Nagasaki, Kobe, and Yokohama. In Kobe, the festivities are particularly lively, drawing locals and tourists alike to immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of the Chinese community.

Capture the festive spirit, sample delectable dumplings, and witness mesmerizing lion dances as we document this joyful occasion. Don’t forget to hit that subscribe button and stay tuned for more exciting vlogs from Japan!

Actually, we had to leave halfway through the festival due to too many people and security guards, but the Chinese New Year Festival will continue until February 12, so if you are in Kobe, why not visit?
