As humans, it's in our nature to travel.

Breaking free from our comfort zones allows us to feel so much of our burdens.

People don't really realize that travel is the most organic of medicines.

That's why leaving for a day in Kobe, Japan, was absolutely invigorating.

Kobe is the home of none other than Kobe beef the finest beef on this planet.

But little do people know when you come to Kobe to try the beef, you need to get a little bit of history, nature and culture to make that call baby taste even better.

Way arrived at Sun No, me a station.

After taking a three hour train ride from Tokyo to Kobe, I heard from you guys at Akashi.

AKI is a must try in this region.

Okay, so I'm headed Teoh lunch.

Right now, we're going to try some Mukasey AKI.

It's like Taco Yockey.

It's more soft.

It's not as hard.

I've never had it before.

Yeah, I'll let you know how it tastes.

Akashi AKI is similar to Taco Yockey, except it's made with egg and not flour.

It's basically an egg dumpling.

This is how you eat Takashi AKI.

It's so funny.

It looks delicious.

How much there is... oh my god!

I don't know if I could eat all this. It's so difficult to pick up.

Inside is octopus, served with a side of bonito broth soup to dip it in.

It was so difficult to pick up because it was so soft and fluffy.

This could be a very good breakfast food shop we went to was called Taco On, and it's quite close to the station.

I'll link everything down below, so check it out.

After lunch, we headed towards Kitano Museum.

It's also known as Key Tunnel Edging Gun.

The museum is up in the mountains, and to get there you have to pass a street filled with Western style buildings and old houses.

Okay, so I'm walking to Kitano Museum and Kitano Museum is mostly full of houses that were built in 18 in the 18 sixties, also during the World War.

It's very quiet here, with architecture of all these buildings are absolutely amazing.

I want to live here so bad the Starbucks building in Kobe was extra cool.

The building itself is built in the 19 hundreds, and it gave off a very homey vibe.

The building has authentic antiques with two floors to choose from.

When looking for a place to sit.

Each room has its own unique spin on it.

You can get your own Kobe mug or tumble here when you come here, and it's highly recommended that you do because you can't get this anywhere else in Japan.

After the coffee break, I finally made it a little farther up the mountain reaching the museum.

I am Kitana Museum, which is basically a montage of American style home.

They have a few houses here that were built back in the agent hundreds and a few houses here that were built back in World War Two.

We're gonna walk around and see what we can find.

This museum dates from the early major period and Taisho Period and was built after Japan opened itself up as a treaty port in 18 69.

So you have to take off your shoes before you go in... anywhere.

This pastel greenhouses, the Mogi house.

It was built in 1903 by the American vice consul.

Kobe has the best preserved old homes, and these homes were built to allow Westerners or Europeans to feel at home while in Japan.

Cast behind the village is a flight of stairs leading to 10 months shrine.

It has a great view of Katonah Museum and Kobe City itself.

Views from above were so stunning, and it made me feel so connected with Japan.

I don't know about you, but whenever I visit shines like these, that's how I feel.

Another cool thing that you can do here is get your fortune told by water I'm gonna try Pay 300 yen and you can dip a piece of rolled up paper into the water to reveal your fortune.

I got dyke ET, which is the best fortune.

This is the third time I got dyke Yogi here rubbed the noses of the animal statues you see around the area to bring good luck.

So I keep cafe right now and you can get pancakes and waffles and all sorts of things.

So, you know, Cool House was one of the houses I really wanted to see.

It was stunning and it looked like a castle.

It was built for the rich foreigners back in the day, and it means fish scales due to the architecture of the mansion.

Next to the Udoka House is a museum of art created by European artists.

You can tell it with a little bit trippy standing duress thing is what I came here for.

The last thing I saw in the state trip to Kobe was echoed a shrine.

It's one of the oldest in Japan and built in the third century A.

D.

If you're lucky, you'll see a lot of weddings here.

People literally drop everything to take a peek at the ceremony.

It's Where's my parents?

Our final stop.

And the reason we came here was for the Kobe beef.

Of course you have to come here.

Eight.

Kobe Beef most famous restaurant in Kobe is called me so No, and its history and delicious meat is what drives the customers in Misano.

Opened in 1945 due to the large amount of foreigners in the area after World War two, it was the first to serve teppanyaki style cuisine, which is a style of Japanese cookie using an iron griddle.

Are you familiar with Benny Hana in the US?

The owner of this restaurant opened Beni Hana in various locations across America.

Cool.

Right view from your seat is gorgeous.

You can see all of Kobe, and it's especially beautiful at night.

So I suggest you book a reservation during the evening.

Okay, so right now and this is what you get.

Really?

Good.

Cool, baby.

I'm gonna try something.

Some other Kobe today on outside, guys.

Hope is I ordered.

Do you like that type of stuff?

Gay.

You get here at any, uh, so no chain restaurants.

So basically, you just pour it into the glass like this when you have bucket in Japan.

So there's something that you don't do anywhere else.

He started her course meal with roast beef salad and shrimp brain.

Yummy.

But all the meat here was really tender and juicy.

I'll never know how they got it perfectly cooked.

Okay, so this is actually shrimp brains.

It doesn't look room or anything.

It sounds gross, but it's not gross. It's actually very delicious.

Next was our grilled fresh vegetables.

And when I say fresh, they were fresh.

Best grilled vegetables.

I had in a long time eat these vegetables.

The sauce that give you at your table and a little bit of salt, pepper and mustard to draw out more flavor.

So no was the first to think of putting a cap on top of their food while it cooks to make everything juicy and flavorful.

You.

It's a black hair.

How so You can actually get this?

Supermarkets.

I've seen very pension, so I'm gonna try it today.

This is garlic.

It looks delicious.

Garlic on meat.

Garlic is really crunchy.

The meat is so tender.

I'm so happy right now.

The time has come.

I'm going to try co baby for the first time, so it's very tender and lots of flavor.

Just like the other one is definitely worth everything that you pay for here.

At this point, I was so stuffed, but they gave me some garlic fried rice and soup from the shrimp brain.

I had to finish off the meal.

It just got more food.

I've never had so much food in my life.

Just drink with, you know, actual.

That's really good, very stomach after you eat a lot.

Our final destination was dessert with a mango and vanilla ice cream with cheesecake way.

Have ice cream, vanilla and Mongol, I think Theo Way.
