Turning a train station into a luxury shopping spot is really impressive.

Kobe Harborland
Kobe Harborland, lined with multiple large scale multi-facility complexes, is the name of the area by the coast covering approximately 18.5 Hectares. One of the commercial complexes, “Kobe Brick Warehouse, HARBOR STORES”, was originally a cargo warehouse built in the late 1890s.
After the Hanshin earthquake, Kobe really made an amazing comeback. The city streets are clean and bright. The waterfront area has all kinds of entertainment, shopping malls, and the night view is super popular.

Chichu Art Museum
Across Naoshima you’ll find art installations that blur the line between art and nature. The island is also home to Chichu Art Museum, a gallery designed by world renowned architect Tadao Ando.
The building itself is a work of art. The design is simple, but it's truly amazing. You need to book online in advance, and photography is prohibited in many areas.

Sugamo Jizo-dori Shopping Street
While Sugamo Jizo-dori Shopping Street is affectionately known as "Grandma's Harajuku", in recent years it has been drawing attention as a spot enjoyable for people of all ages and genders. Spanning approximately 780m, the shopping street is home to about 200 stores covering a diverse range of genres, including Japanese sweets, Western sweets, bakeries, tea shops, rice cracker shops, and Buddhist altar accessory shops.
The shops on this street are perfect for people my age to browse.
