Map & landmarks
Kobe lies in the Kansai region, between sea and mountains. The city offers easy reference points for organising a language course abroad: the trains, the metros and the central districts make journeys easier. Its maritime, modern atmosphere, quieter than that of the very large metropolises, lets you discover the destination without losing the thread of daily life.
For a student, Kobe is an interesting base for learning Japanese in a Japanese city setting. Lessons can be fitted around journeys, outings and everyday conversation, which helps you practise the language in real situations.
City life and landmarks
In Kobe, activities depend a great deal on the local setting: exploring the port, the shopping districts, the cafés, the markets and the views from the heights.
Getting there: train from Osaka: about 20 min
