I seems that the weather is always in my favor when going to Kobe for a short vacation. Last time a month ago It was clear blue sky and lots of surveying on foot with the occasional taxi rides from the station to my in-laws' house.

This time around I had more bus rides than actual surveying on foot. So the progress in Kobe is more visible and not only concentrated to the Nagata-ku area around Nagata shrine. Unfortunately on the day of departure it was raining cats and dogs and I was not able to log the taxi ride back to Shinkobe station.

If everything works out I hope to go back again sometimes in August hopefully mapping a few mountain trails.
