Been looking for a new Kobe based podcast about Japan since the Just Japan Podcast went on hiatus a couple years ago. This one fits the bill nicely and I've already been excited to hear an episode that had them talking about Sannomiya and mentioning the otaku shopping area near Hankyu Sannomiya station. Looking forward to much more including maybe a visit to the nearby onsen town of Arima.

Entertaining and informative podcasts. Love Matt’s music choices. One day I’ll get there to Japan and hopefully can meet up with you two while there.

Thank you so much for taking the time to put up these episodes!!! Looking forward to more podcasts and hearing about the answers to those unanswered questions. Also have to selfishly ask for more fashion episodes :). Hoping to make it back in July 2021 with my son on his first visit and my 4th.
