Last month, I was at Maiko Park in Kobe for only one thing: to see the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. As a result… I was so shocked that I couldn’t speak when I stood under the bridge. It’s not a bridge, but a giant dragon spanning the sea and sky, nearly 4 kilometers long and majestic, especially when standing directly under the bridge pier and shooting upward, the structural beauty and sense of architectural oppression are totally unlike anything humans can make! 😭😭 📸Photography suggestions 📍Best angle: Maiko Park Coastal Trail, shoot upward from the bridge pier + center the portrait, super photo 📱Use 0.5x wide-angle lens on your phone to pull out the entire bridge body, and shoot horizontally for a more stunning effect ⏰Suggested time: 8-9 am or 4-5 pm, soft light. Remember to check the weather forecast. Although it was cloudy that day, it was already very beautiful! 💬A little touching: I thought I was just checking in, but I stood under the bridge for almost half an hour. Listening to the sound of the waves and watching the cars passing on the bridge, At that moment, it really seemed like the world was in slow motion. I only came to see a bridge, but I took a whole series of magazine-level blockbusters, and also left the most peaceful memories of Kobe. #Akashi Kaikyo Bridge #Kobe Attractions Recommendation #Maiko Park #Kobe Travel #Architectural Photography #Coastal Scenery #Japan Hidden Attractions #Upward Shooting Blockbuster #Structural Beauty #Japanese Freshness

Such a beautiful bridge, spectacular and majestic, it is definitely worth a visit, and it is very convenient to take the subway. Sun Yat-sen’s former residence is also worth visiting. After seeing the bridge, I suggest you don’t forget to eat steak. Of course, it is the best restaurant in Kobe. You need to make an appointment, otherwise you have to wait in line for a long time. Be patient and you won’t feel it’s not worth it. It’s delicious, delicious!

The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge around Kobe is a small city that is very suitable for roaming. You can buy a ticket to enter the bridge and overlook the entire strait. The scenery is very spectacular.

When it comes to eating beef, of course we have to eat Kobe beef fillet from Japan! I went to this barbecue restaurant in Kobe this time. I saw that the restaurant has won numerous awards, and there is even a Spider-Man for children to take pictures. I ordered two kinds of Kobe beef fillet this time, one is the championship grade and one is the ordinary grade, the difference is very big, the champion is really the champion, the meat is tender, beef flavor is plentiful, juicy and tender, makes people endlessly reminiscent! I order 120g each, the championship grade costs around ¥38,000, the regular grade is only ¥18,000 (I don't recommend ordering). I even ordered a piece of raw Kobe beef sushi, Mum! It's good to a point, even more... Finally I added five pieces 🍣
