In Kobe, I visited Ikuta Shrine ⛩️, did the Chinowa purification ritual, and explored the forest. A super quiet spot right in the city center!

I found a top-rated place for Kobe Beef 🥩 and grabbed some delicious streetfood in Chinatown before heading back.

Back in Osaka, I hit Dotonbori for dinner. I ordered a mystery dish at an Izakaya, but it tasted amazing. Time for a night walk home.

Thanks for watching the journey! I’ll be sharing more of my month as a digital nomad in Japan soon
