Local food and restaurants in Hyogo
Hyogo is home to Kobe beef and to Akashi’s akashiyaki. The latter are soft, egg-rich dumplings containing octopus, dipped in broth before eating. They are quite different from sauce-topped takoyaki.

Choosing a meal in Hyogo
Kobe beef belongs on a Kobe food search; akashiyaki comes from nearby Akashi. Both are Hyogo specialities, but they are not from the same city. Match the dish to the stop you are making.
Tips for choosing a restaurant
Plan a Kobe beef meal in Kobe or try akashiyaki during an Akashi stop. If the trip includes a Kinosaki onsen stay, leave room for any meals served by your ryokan.
What else could you see nearby?
Kobe’s harbour, Himeji Castle and Arima Onsen lie in different directions. Trying all three in one day means more time on trains and buses; if you want a relaxed onsen visit, make it the main plan.
