Your wife and I are of one thought. I believe they offer IPAD rentals for a fee.

My friend uses UKB HND route fairly often. Remember, UKB is not in Kobe proper but on Port Island. Very close and linked by a rail and roadway however really lonely part of town.

Spend an evening in Kobe still would mean getting to Kobe central via the rail or taxi.

Now that I live here for the past year, I think Kobe is quiet town at night. Even their night district is very small.
