It is a treasure trove of gastronomy, featuring the world’s finest “Kobe Beef” and sake from “Nada-Gogo,” Japan’s top brewery district. Surrounded by mountains and sea, Hyogo offers diverse natural landscapes where history and modernity blend, providing new discoveries every time you visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
