Kobe 9 Nov 2007
Taken in early morning, as I was going to the rail station to go to Kyoto.
This photo shows a sculpture on the street near the hotel I stayed at during my second stay in Kobe. Note the variety of scripts (characters) in the signs in the background.
This hotel was near Sannamiya Station. This is a rail/subway station that is gigantic (there is a shopping mall inside it). However, most of it is underground, so I don't think there is any way to photograph it. This neighborhood also appeared to be the center of night life in Kobe. As you can see from this photo, it was VERY quiet in the morning. The difference between night and day there was like the difference between -- well -- night and day.
