Kobe Day Trip 🇯🇵 | Osaka Castle, Kobe Beef, Animal Cafe, & Hakone + Odawara

In this video, my friends and I go shopping in Osaka and visit Osaka Castle. Then we take a day trip to Kobe where we explored the Nunobiki Herb Gardens, visit an animal cafe, and eat the best kobe beef we’ve ever had. I highly recommend taking day trip to Kobe if you are staying in Osaka.
