This shop is a rental showcase & gallery. They exhibit & sell crafts made by Kobe locals. Shelf cubby holes are rented out & crafts that are on sale are displayed.
What to buy: Almost everything on sale is handmade: Japanese pottery, stationary, jewelry, dolls, handbags, accessories, clothing, etc. This would be a great place to buy souvenirs & gifts!
What to pay: Everything is priced pretty reasonable. I bought mini Japanese notecards that were 150yen/2 cards, & a felt bag for 680yen.

MOSAIC is a shopping plaza with very interesting boutiques. It`s located right along Kobe Port so that you can see the port area while shopping. Also here are a mini amusement park for children, a large arcade area, a movie theater, & lots of restaurants.
Shops open from 11am-8pm. Restaurants & movie theater open later.
What to buy: There`s a shop named Cenozoic selling clothing, Japanese pottery/kitchenware, aromatherapy, garden ware & jewelry. Another shop sells Asian food. Another sells character goods (Sesame Street, Disney, Snoopy, etc).
About 20 shops (not including cart stall shops).

Walk underneath JR rails between Sannomiya & Kobe and discover a narrow alley filled with stores selling collectibles, used/new clothing, silver jewelry, antiques, and restaurants. This is a great place for young people especially to shop and browse!

you can't miss sannomiya shoppign arcade. it's actually a shopping street. There's lots of stuff there, and prices are cheaper than in Osaka.

Located at the Harbor of Kobe, Mosaic has an excellent location.
What to buy: There are a lot of different shops and the whole thing reminds me at Fishermans Wharf in San Francisco.
