What to expect
Given the tour includes viewing the night view of Mount Rokko, the sunset time varies between winter and summer. Therefore, the departure time will be earlier in winter and slightly later in summer. Please arrange your time accordingly for the day.
In the morning, depart from Osaka directly to Japan’s premier castle - Himeji Castle. The pure white and elegant castle tower resembles a white egret spreading its wings, and is known as “the foremost of Japan’s national treasures.” Ascend the wooden ancient castle tower, overlook the city of Himeji, and experience the architectural wisdom and samurai spirit of the Edo period. In the spring cherry blossoms and autumn red leaves, this World Heritage Site is even more magnificent.
In the afternoon, head to the ancient hot spring of a thousand years - Arima Onsen. As one of Japan’s three ancient hot springs, it is famous for its “Kintsen” (gold spring) and “Gintsen” (silver spring). You can stroll through the hot spring town, taste carbonated crackers, experience foot baths, or step into a traditional bathhouse to enjoy a moment of healing, and feel the warm spring quality that Hideyoshi Toyotomi once favored.
In the evening, ascend Mount Rokko and overlook Kobe Port and Osaka Bay. Take the cable car to the observation deck, take a break in the mountaintop garden or ranch, and wait for sunset. When night falls, you will experience the “world’s three major million-dollar night views” comparable to Hong Kong and Naples - the dazzling lights of Kobe are like a galaxy pouring down, and the scenery of mountains and seas is unforgettable.
We offer exquisite small groups of up to 13 people with professional Chinese-speaking tour guides. The itinerary is leisurely and the attractions are seamlessly connected, allowing you to experience the triple charm of Kobe's history, hot springs, and nature in one day.






















Reviews
Ride was smooth but leg space for the transport was tight as it’s a small group so it’s a mini bus, trip was relaxing and easy. got to eat the Kobe beef burger which is good near Himeji castle. recommended if u to travel out of city to enjoy some other scenery of Japan.
We went on February 8th, two families in one minibus. It happened to be snowing that day, and we saw Himeji Castle in the snow, so beautiful! After arriving at Arima Onsen, the snow gradually got heavier, and some roads were closed. We couldn't go up Mount Rokko, but the driver cooperated with our schedule and departed earlier to return to the city, avoiding being stranded on the mountain.
Himeji Castle was absolutely magnificent, and Taiko-no-Yu at Arima Onsen was incredibly comfortable. It was a very relaxing trip.
We are very grateful to our driver and guide, Mr. Miraitowa, for his thoughtful service and explanations during this trip. Although we encountered rain, his attentive service made our experience very enjoyable.
Thankyouuu for the service, Thankyouuu Moonfella Japan helping us for booking🫶🏻✨
Our new tour guide, Han Chao, was excellent! They provided introductions and then gave us free time to explore. I really appreciated the free time because I'm an introvert and prefer to experience things at my own pace. They even helped take photos! I loved this tour.
Tour guide Wang Zhaoyu has excellent driving skills and manages the itinerary time perfectly. Thumbs up! 👍
The Chinese-speaking tour guide was very professional and highly cooperative!
We enjoyed beautiful scenery and comfortable hot springs.
The tour guide and driver were very responsible and introduced the scenery along the way.
