In this case,very simple.Many restaurants from all over the world and Japan. These restaurants never pretend they are originally from Tokyo.
Kansai-jin never pretend too.
You said,"Kobe is a very international city with terrific restaurants with chefs from everywhere from India to Brazil."
I say,"Tokyo is a very international city with terrific restaurants with chefs from everywhere from India to Brazil."

Accessibility is the difference, in my experience. Really good international cuisine in Tokyo seems more expensive than it is in Kansai.
In Kanto people brag how expensive things cost. In Kansai they brag how cheap things cost.

Again, she said it is a kind of "foodie" vacation. I am just recommending where the best food is, not only in my personal opinion, but what I have heard time and time again from people from both parts of the country.

different from "richness in diversity",soba noodles and soy souce are the icons of Kantou cuisine. No one think soba and Tenpura in Kansai is better than in Kantou.
My point is all　food is not better in Kansai.not better in Kantou.

What is popular in Kansai compared to Kanto is different when it comes to soba. You can say neither is better, but try takoyaki or okonomiyaki in Kansai, then try and eat it in Tokyo. I have never wanted to return food in Japan before, but the sad excuse for okonomiyaki I got in Tokyo.
On top of that, pound for pound (and yen for yen) the Italian food (spaghetti, pizza, etc.) has been better and a better value in Kansai.

If they want,no problem. Especially,when they live near and have chances of next visit.Actually,Tokyo Disneyland is full of repeaters.

If that is convenient for them, that is fine, but, again they said it was a foodie vacation. I wouldn't go to Tomorrowland to see the Haunted Mansion. |
