Kobe East Park

It's a very nice corner in a busy city. Not just open space, but also a coffee shop and a book stand in the park. It's only a couple of blocks away from the super-busy Sannomiya area, but with a completely different vibe. It's quiet and calm here, even at the rush hours when office workers and students passing through, it still offers a good atmosphere of relaxation.
