Take a detailed walking tour of the Misaki area in Kobe, Japan, captured in crisp 4K HDR. This video explores various neighborhoods and highlights within the Misaki district, offering viewers an in-depth look at urban life and local attractions.

The walk begins in Hamayamadori 3-chome, a residential section with traditional architecture and typical Kobe streetscapes. The route soon leads to Kasamatsu Shopping Street, a bustling local shopping arcade where small shops and eateries cater to residents and visitors. Such shopping arcades, known as shōtengai in Japanese, are cultural mainstays, offering everything from fresh produce to street food. You’ll also pass landmarks like Misaki Honmachi 2-chome and the friendly neighborhood of Wadasaki-cho 3-chome.

Notable stops include Awajiya—likely a well-known local business—and Wadamisaki Station, a key transit point on the Sanyo Main Line. The walk also takes viewers past Noevir Stadium Kobe, the home stadium of Vissel Kobe, making this area especially lively on match days. The video also showcases typical street scenes such as Kamishodori 3-chome, everyday moments like feeding pigeons, and a return to the Kasamatsu Shopping Street for further exploration.

This route highlights how Kobe’s port-side neighborhoods blend residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. Noevir Stadium—originally known as Kobe Wing Stadium—was one of the venues for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and today hosts football games and concerts. Wadamisaki Station is close to both the stadium and the port, making it a crucial link for locals commuting or attending events. The Misaki area, while less touristy than central Kobe, offers an authentic slice of everyday city life, with the video serving as a comprehensive walking guide for travelers looking to explore beyond the usual destinations.
