A warm cheesecake, a room in the old settlement, a bar with a fire
神戸:温めて食べるチーズケーキ、旧居留地のホテル、暖炉のバー
An afternoon and a night in Kobe for two: the city's cheesecake since 1975 in Motomachi, a room at The Orient in the old foreign settlement, and a bar up the Kitano slope that has kept a wood fire since 1966.
The total is a floor: THE ORIENT prints a starting price, not a fixed one. Entry and food as printed; 2 stops without a printed price add nothing.
