Kōbe, Japan + Add a trip

There's an arcade of shops under the train tracks running from Sannomiya to JR Kobe station, its a pretty interesting place for odds and ends. The markets near to Oji Koen and close to Kasuganomichi are also good and very local.

There is also Center Gai, from Sannomiya to Motomatchi, a covered arcade that runs paralell to the train tracks, but further down (in the direction of the Bay).
