Yeah... imageshack was down when I uploaded pics to net, so I took first alternative I found with Google.

Anyway, you can click them for bigger versions...
I spent some time in Osaka too. I've not heard of Kobe, was it nice? Where is Hyogo? I am definitely going back next year. I think I'll go up North next time, some where more rural. That will make a nice change from Tokyo.
Kobe seemed surprisingly small place (relatively)... I did just very quick visit there. I basically just saw "shopping street" underneath railway, china town and Merkin park along the shore.
Hyogo is a prefecture (Kobe is the capital of Hyogo), but I spent most of my time (~2 weeks) in several little northern villages/cities of Hyogo.
