Chilling in Kobe part 2

Ascending to height to get an overlooking view of the city is one of the most enjoyable parts of travelling around the city and one can really just kick back for a while to enjoy some coffee and the view.

Overlooking the city I could see the various harbours and vessels coming and going. Trade here is very busy and Kobe is one of the most well-connected points in Japan for trade. I could see numerous boats transporting goods and I wondered if the Japanese system of transport here would be just as efficient as the others. I was particularly impressed by the Shinkansen, otherwise known as the bullet train that can reach blistering speeds of over 300 kilometres per hour.
