Kansai Winter Trip January 2017: Travel with Kids: The Itinerary : OSAKA-KOBE (Day 4)

salam... sambung route plan untuk hari ke 4..

Route hari ni still guna Kansai Thru Pass....

Namba Subway - Umeda (Hanshin)
Dari Namba bergerak ke Umeda Station sebab nak naik train Hanshin Line to Kobe...
> Take subway Osaka City Midosuji Line to Umeda Station

> Sampai Umeda station, cari Hanshin Station (ikut je signboard2 yg ada kat station Umeda tu, memang ada banyak signboard)

Sampai Hanshin Station, cari platform Hanshin for SanyoHimeji

masa time kami pergi, kami naik train di Platform #2

> get off dekat station Kobe-Sannomiya station 

my mom & my adik2 datang Osaka on 3rd day...meriah sikit, ini luar station Kobe Sannomiya..kami nak gerak ke Masjid Kobe jalan kaki ikut map...

jalan kaki dalam 13min...kami jalan pelan cz my mom ada..so jalan tenang2 saja..tengok pemandangan sepanjang jalan...

jalan2 ikut google maps

sampai...alhamdulillah... masjid tertua di Jepun...

Dekat area2 masjid ni, macam biasa..ada kedai halal..ada kedai Naan..kami tak makan situ...sebaliknya kami beli daging kambing untuk masak kat apartment..yums2

kedai halal depan masjid

cukup bekalan lauk untuk kami masak & makan ramai2

Kami ke Kobe ni sebenarnya pada hari ketiga, but bila pikir balik, better pegi Kobe hari ke 4 because dari Namba kena transfer ke Umeda dulu untuk naik train ke Kobe, sgt rushing sebab kami baru smpai dari Kyoto time tu..so utk my sister in law...please pegi Kobe hari ke 4, ok..       

Kalau nak explore Kobe guna pass ni, sila refer kat website ni...boleh plan mana nk pegi guna pass ni..

From Mosque, please walk to nearest JR station(Sannomiya (JR) Station) 

• Get off JR Motomatchi Station to go Nankinmachi(Kobe Chinatown)

• Then using same JR line get off JR Kobe Station to go Kobe Harborland​

​​​​

Depart for Osaka Hotel​

• Go back JR Sannomiya station 

• Please find Hankyu / Hanshin Station to UmedaStation (both line can use Kansai Thru Pass) ​

• Arrived Umeda Station, take OSAKA City Subway for Midosuji Line to Namba Station  

Note: 

• Still using Kansai Thru Pass – kindly refer to Kansai Booklet & map

• Kalau sampai awal from Kobe, just jalan2 malam tu Dotonbori area..pegi makan2 & shopping & balik hotel jalan kaki…            

Esok kta guna Osaka Amazing Pass pulaaaak..masa utk cover OSAKAAA...
