Reviews
it was a confusing start at the beginning where the driver park for the meeting point but at the end the transportation, the driver and the tour was smooth sailing. Every place he dropped us off he has a good instruction on what we need to see and the meet up time. what really impresses me was when my husband left his phone on the van when we were dropped off to the dropped off place our guide/driver returned it immediately! thank you!!!! we are very happy and we appreciate the wonderful assistance.
It’s a wonderful trip as we visited 4 places. Tour guide is very detailed in explaining everything. Onsen at Arima was awesome. Night view at the Mount Rokko is magnificent! We really have luck to see the night view!
It was a great experience to visit Kobe Tower and Mount Rokko Cable Car Ride to see the spectacular view from Mount Rokko.
the guide was friendly and cool. she did what she had to do and we were so satisfied with our tour. hope to be back here someday.
Today is the most relaxing day for so many days in Japan! The whole group of 17 people took a tour bus to Kobe Port, Kitano Ijinkan, and Arima Hot Spring to soak in the hot springs, and finally waited for the dark to watch the million-dollar night view on Mount Rokko, blowing the cool breeze on the mountain and watching the beautiful night view, for this time Japan A beautiful end to the last night of free travel!
Our tour guide Zoe was amazing. He spoke very good Chinese and English during our tour, he was very knowledgeable and know a lot of details about Kobe and Japan in general. He give really good advices on where to eat and what time to meet back in the bus. He makes small talk so it wouldn’t make anyone feel awkward. He talks to you as if a friend. definitely book!! you won’t be disappointed!
Today there were seven foreigners in the bus, including me. First we went to Kobe Port, which is beautiful, then to Ijin Restaurant, to Mt. Rokko, to Arima Hot Spring, where we can soak in the hot springs for ¥550. We also bought towels for ¥200. It took half an hour. The store closed at five o'clock, so I didn't buy anything.
this experience wasn't as good as I had expected it to be. first off, our guide was really pissed at us for being late to the meetup and that kinda put a sour taste in our mouth. forcing us to apologize to the others tho the rest of them were fine with it. we did apologize nonetheless. and then he reccomended quite a few places to us to eat at and go to the onsen at but none of it was the right ones that I had wanted to go to or try based on the imagery shown on klook. all of them were extremely disappointing but the experience was still very unique and the guide tried to communicate in English as best he could tho I think this experience would be better for those that speak mandarin than English. most of the other guests were mainly from China too. seats were comfortable enough and we had to pay for everything ourselves but the sights were pretty cool and something we hadn't quite seen b4. but disappointed cause he didn't reccomend the authentic kobe beef to us tho the friends I was with thought he did and also didn't recommend/bring us to the onsen in the picture as I thought he would've but didn't. so overall, those parts weren't very satisfying. but he was a great guide, had a lot of knowledge and you could tell he seriously and I mean really seriously wanted to constantly converse with the guests. I didn't like how stringent on time he was but I guess this is the "rule" of Japan. not something we can comprehend if we ain't from here.
This tour has a rich itinerary, and there is enough time to visit each attraction. The tour guide LuLu is very attentive and experienced, and introduces each attraction in detail in Chinese and English. It is worth recommending!
There really isn’t much fun in Kobe, and the night view is not as beautiful as Osaka’s and it’s super cold. Because it’s a very niche group, the driver is also a tour guide, but I didn’t let everyone be left out because of this. I explained the key points at every point and sent everyone the landmarks on WeChat. Enhance your understanding!
