The Kansai region (関西地方, Kansai-chihō) or the Kinki region (近畿地方, Kinki-chihō) lies in the southern-central region of Japan's main island Honshū. The region includes the prefectures of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo and Shiga, sometimes Fukui, Tokushima and Tottori. While the use of the terms "Kansai" and "Kinki" have changed over history, in most modern contexts the use of the two terms is interchangeable. The urban region of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto (Keihanshin region) is the second-most populated in Japan after the Greater Tokyo Area.

Having never experienced an earthquake before, this museum was an eye-opener for myself. Earthquake is kinda a part and parcel of life in Japan as this region lies on many of the tectonic lines. The highlight was definitely the two movies on the 1995 Kobe Hanshin great earthquake, which was reproduced to showcase the extent of the damage and immerse the viewers in the earthquake experience. The movie was played in Japanese, but there were audio guides provided. After that there were exhibitions on the wreckage shown in the museum and the recovery process. Across the building was information on other type of natural disaster in Japan and there was even a simulator on running/swimming away from a tsunami. Definitely worth a visit if visiting Kobe!

"I want to go out with my parents on hot days, rainy days, cold days, etc." In such a case, please go to Toy Toy Park, a 4-minute walk from Fukushima Station on the JR Loop Line! It is an hourly indoor play facility, and no reservation is required. You can see the real train up close while playing with toys such as railroad toys and blocks. Children who like trains are delighted! The toys are so clean that I can't play with them ♪ We also have stores in AEON MALL Osaka Dome City and AEON MALL Tsurumi Ryokuchi.

A couple of train stops from Namba station and you arrive at Sakai station 10 minutes walk and you come to the store. It has an amazing range of high quality knives made by local makers some of the best in the country. The staff were very helpful and showed us loads of options. They even tried to organise a visit to a blacksmith however being Saturday it wasn't possible. We found the prices of the knives here was a lot cheaper than other stores in Osaka. I ended up buying 3 kitchen knives a pair of scissors and two sharpening stones (excess baggage here I come). So if you want kitchen knives come here.
