This morning we headed off to find a post office or 7-11 (for the ATMs that accept US cards) and then to visit some local sake breweries, maybe do some sampling (Ben) and some picture taking (Asya) and whatever else we happen to come across that looks interesting.
Not only was the weather absolutely beautiful, but the cherry blossoms were in full bloom and made everything look absolutely delightful.
I can see why people like to visit Japan at this time of year!
We quickly found ATM, got cash (because most places in Japan don't take credit cards, even among ones that cater to tourists!) and went to visit three of the half-dozen sake breweries which were within 20-30 minute walk.

I have absolutely no idea what the sign says in this little park/monument, but I know that it has a green leaf on it that looks just like MongoDB green leaf!
After the breweries, we decided we were hungry but couldn't find much around that area, so we hopped on a train to find better lunch options in Kobe. You can see the result on the food page.

We then walked around the part of Kobe between JR Kobe Station and Harbor Front.
We saw this cool building (above) that looked like a church or a hotel, but the sign on it said "Estacion Kobe" - I eventually found lots of pictures of it on the internet but still didn't figure out what it is!
In one of the malls we were walking through there was a fascinating huge part-art part-mechanism of unknown purpose.
And on our way out we saw this, uh, creature. No idea what it was, but it looked comfortable sitting there, so Ben took a seat next to it for a minute.
