Hi, I'm Masae, born and bred in Kobe. I graduated from Kobe city university of foreign language, and I am passionate about meeting people from different cultures. I was actually born the day of Kobe festival (in May), and every year around the festival I go to Mt. Rokko for a refreshing hike and to see the beautiful waterfalls and greenery. It's also the best place to see the Kobe port and bustling city-life from above. My other hobbies include swimming, calligraphy, visiting shrines and spas (depending on my mood), and finding new cafes around the city. I truly love this place and I can't wait to show you all the reasons why!
