Day 21 June 6, 2018 Kobe Day Trip This is it! Our last full day in Japan . The rainy weather today perfectly symbolizes what we feel... We were cold and gloomy aside from that we were crying inside as we still wanted to stay longer with our Japanese family. Breakfast at Aloha Mai Cafe ご注文はお決まりですか? Here's my order. Mr. Toshi uplifted our spirits by inviting us to his favorite cafe to have breakfast. Just a few minutes' drive away was Aloha Mai Cafe , a Hawaiian inspired cafe which serves (in my opinion) the best coffee in Osaka.  I tried out the coconut caramel crunch coffee and true enough it has an outstanding superb task.  Aloha Mai is owned and run by a single guy who fell in love with Hawaii. He is quite talented in playing Hawaiian inspired music using his koto-like musical instrument. He even gave us a little demonstration which made our breakfast even more memorable.  The first destination for this rainy trip is Kobe Maritime Museum Walking
