ano... isn't Kobe on the EAST coast of Japan?

Zen-


<You are correct sir.  Yes, Kobe is on the east coast.  
Unfortunately I couldn't think of a major port city that 
faces the Sea of Japan?  That why I suggested that Ranma et 
al, try to go by ship to the asian mainland.  Moreover, what 
if Ranma accidently boarded the wrong ship?? Instead of 
China, He might find himself bound for India, Austrialia, 
Hawaii, or even the U.S. West Coast? (I know, this sounds 
more like a Ryoga thing, but it does have possiblities. But 
then that's my meager opinion) ^_^  >
