Mount Rokkō

Guide Jo Jun-young explained everything so well, and most importantly, made the trip very comfortable, which I really appreciated! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This itinerary was very fulfilling and enjoyable, with a rich variety of attractions and excellent time management. Our tour guide was friendly and enthusiastic, providing detailed and professional explanations, which made the entire trip more relaxed and pleasant, leaving us with many wonderful memories.

We happened to be there on June 2nd during a typhoon, so our main plan to see the night view was unfortunately canceled. Luckily, we had a great and very responsible tour guide. I hope we can meet him again on our next trip.

Truly Japanese style accommodation with great service. The hotel has its own onsen, so guests don't have to go outside. The breakfast with Yuba is great, recommded to try!

The trip was enjoyable, with the guide speaking fluently in both Korean and English, which made communication smooth for all visitors. I recommend this day trip to Kobe for those interested in exploring the city’s attractions and local culture.

The meeting point was easy to find. A list of registered participants was posted on the door, allowing us to confirm our bus number directly. We then checked in with the tour guide who was on-site holding the list of tourists. Our guide, Xiao Bi, was excellent in managing time, and was incredibly meticulous, patient, enthusiastic, and friendly. He was a guide who made us feel completely at ease. Among the three attractions, Himeji Castle felt the most worthwhile for an extended stay. Just climbing through the castle itself takes at least 1-2 hours (depending on the crowd), and there's an exciting shopping street below the castle that we really wanted to explore. The allocated 4 hours for the entire visit was quite sufficient. My friend and I did not opt for the included lunch. We started touring the castle around 10:30 AM and left at 12:30 PM. Afterward, we quickly grabbed lunch and briefly browsed the shopping street. We walked through Koko-en Garden in about 10-20 minutes. Arima Onsen, though very famous, involved a rather winding mountain road that made me a little carsick. The footbath area was packed with people, so we ultimately chose to soak our feet in the cool stream, which was also very pleasant. The hot spring town felt a bit like Jiufen Old Street, great for browsing and shopping! The observation deck at Mount Rokko was very comfortable. We were lucky to have good weather, allowing us to clearly see Kobe and Osaka from Mount Rokko. We returned to Osaka around 6:30 PM, which still left us some time to explore the Namba commercial district. Overall, it was a very economical and worthwhile itinerary.

The trip was smooth and well-paced, which made the experience very relaxing. I also liked that the group was small and not too loud. Jo, our tour guide, was calm, helpful, and approachable throughout the trip. Highly recommended if you prefer a peaceful tour experience.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience during our Kobe tour on May 29, 2026. Our tour guide, Wang Qi, was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating throughout the entire trip. Wang Qi provided interesting information about Kobe's history, culture, and famous attractions, making each destination more meaningful and enjoyable. The tour was well-organized, and the guide ensured that everyone was comfortable and had enough time to appreciate the sights and take photos. We especially appreciated Wang Qi's patience in answering our questions and willingness to assist us with directions, local recommendations, and understanding Japanese customs. Their enthusiasm and positive attitude greatly enhanced our overall experience. Thanks to Wang Qi, our visit to Kobe became one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. We highly recommend this tour and would gladly join another tour guided by Wang Qi in the future. Thank you, Wang Qi!
