Eva in Kobe

My name is Eva. Originally from Alsace, I’ve been living in Japan for 15 years and working as a guide in Kobe for 7, where I’m also an official ambassador for the city.

A lover of languages, it was learning Japanese that led me to settle in the land of the rising sun in May 2011, on a Working Holiday visa.

To uncover Kobe’s hidden treasures, there’s nothing better than being shown around by locals: the people who live here and know every corner of their adopted home.

So let me tell you its story, show you what gives it its charm, and introduce you to its warm-hearted residents.

In short, let me guide you through the everyday life of the city closest to my heart.
