Here you can explore the bustling city while still being surrounded by sea and mountains when in downtown Kobe. Walking through Kobe is the best way to see the city, which is on the smaller side compared to goliaths like Tokyo. It\u2019s all too easy to eat and drink your way round Kobe, home of the world-renowned Kobe beef \u2013 it won\u2019t taste better than in its home city. Wakkoqu is one of the best restaurants to try Kobe beef, where you can watch the chef prepare your meal in front of you. Kobe is also one of Japan\u2019s leading areas for sake brewing, with sake brewery tours showing you the process from grain to bottle. To relax away from the bustle of city life, visit one of the most famous hot springs in Japan, Arima Onsen, just 30 minutes from downtown Kobe but still within the city limits. Make sure to head out of the city one evening to the mountains where you can see the city lights sparkle, known as the \u201cmillion dollar night view\u201d.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335572079&quot;:6,&quot;335572080&quot;:1,&quot;335572081&quot;:0,&quot;469789806&quot;:&quot;single&quot;}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335572079&quot;:6,&quot;335572080&quot;:1,&quot;335572081&quot;:0,&quot;469789806&quot;:&quot;single&quot;}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335572079&quot;:6,&quot;335572080&quot;:1,&quot;335572081&quot;:0,&quot;469789806&quot;:&quot;single&quot;}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Luang Prabang, Laos<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-12511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luang-Prabang-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Luang Prabang, Laos mekong river\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luang-Prabang-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luang-Prabang-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luang-Prabang-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luang-Prabang-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luang-Prabang-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luang-Prabang-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luang-Prabang-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luang-Prabang-345x230.jpg 345w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luang-Prabang-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Step back in time when you visit Luang Prabang, with its well-preserved colonial architecture and traditional Lao style \u2013 the town is also UNESCO World Heritage Site.
