A lively and colorful place in Kobe with a great atmosphere and lots of delicious Chinese street food. There are many shops and restaurants to explore, and the streets are especially fun to walk around and take photos.
A nice place to visit when you’re exploring Kobe! Highly recommended for food lovers and anyone who enjoys a lively atmosphere. 😊

Nankinmachi is a China town in Kobe.
I visited this place during August around late evening. There weren’t much people (not too crowded). There were sooo much Chinese restaurants and seems like they were selling same kind of street food and snacks.
The street area were not so clean. Some food stayed on the floor.. and I accidentally stepped on it 😭 but the environment was lively.
I was there to try peking duck. I bought 2 peking duck wraps that costs 500yen each from the first peking duck store I saw. Then, I continued to walk further more and found out that other stores that also sell Peking duck cost 400 yen… Lesson learned ahahaha
Overall, It was not bad visiting this place. The Peking duck I bought was decent. The amount of duck they gave me was A LOT! But there were also a lot of green onions stem that’s a bit hard to chew and the sauce were not too sweet.

Kobe Chinatown on a drizzle day in end September 26.
Start with stroll towards the center pavilion, snack Japanese croquettes which is quite tasty.
Many Chinese restaurants along all four corners ways in Chinatown, so unable to decide which to dine. So chosen a set meals restaurant price 1000 Yen, next to a long queue store selling dumplings. Although the set meal has many small dishes but food not hot with average taste.
Saw one Kobe beef skewers stall in the central cross section pathway and snack again.

Nankin-machi ( 'Nanjing town') is a neighborhood in Kobe, Japan located south of Motomachi station adjacent to the Daimaru Department Store and is a major tourist attraction. Considered as Kobe's Chinatown, the area has over a hundred Chinese restaurants, shops, and a Chinese temple dedicated to Lord Guan.
Many establishments such as mahjong clubs and souvenir shops abound throughout Nankinmachi, but none are as prevalent as food businesses. Along the streets of Nankinmachi are restaurants and stalls that serve both Chinese Japanese food, Western steak houses as well.
Most shops show off their cuisine on display stands for potential customers. Some examples include dim sum, dumplings, buns, and Chinese pastries. During the Lunar New Year and the Mid Autumn season, two major festivals celebrated by Chinese people worldwide, New Year's delicacies and Moon Cakes appear.

Food is great! I got a very cheap and nice hostal near this area and that allowed me to experience it good. It's mainly 2 cruz streets that at night has a magical charming vibe.
