Kobe Day Trip丨Himeji Castle & Mt. Rokko & Arima Onsen Chinese Service with Hotel Pick-Up Available

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.
