Although it's best known as the home of the world-renowned Kobe beef, Kobe also happens to be one of the largest and most beautiful cities in Japan. The Rokko mountain range serves as a picturesque backdrop, and if you want a truly spectacular view of the city and the surrounding area, you can take an ancient cable car up Mt. Rokko. In the city itself, attractions include the Sorakuen Garden, the sake breweries in the Nada district, and the Kobe City Museum. Of course, you'll also likely want to visit a local teppanyaki restaurant to enjoy a few pieces of grilled Kobe beef. Kobe
