Galleria Kobe Motomachi

The "Kobe Motomachi Gallery" is among the longest galleries and malls in the world. It is also called "Kobe Motomachi Shopping Street" due to the length of the route and the quantity of shops of all kinds. Those who visit Kobe cannot fail to find the time to visit it. It winds in the Motomachi district for over a kilometer. It may seem like a little but, believe me, every 5-10 meters there is a shop to the right and one to the left of the gallery that powerfully attracts our attention. The Chinatown street (about 200 meters long) runs parallel to the Galleria 60 meters from the entrance. This is precisely the wonder of Kobe: the union between the two communities: the Chinese and the Japanese: the Chinese (in Chinatown) more folkloric, with an almost populated trade with characteristic and fragrant products that are cooked directly in the street, and the Japanese one (in the Gallery), more technological and organized with more precise principles of hygiene, in well-kept shops with various goods but certainly superior in quality and guarantee marks. In the gallery there are therefore Japanese souvenir shops, fashion shops, grocery stores, bars and restaurants. In short ... it is a kilometer of the tunnel that never ends !!!
