Things to do in Kobe

Had an absolutely delightful day with our guide, Harry! the day does kick off nice and early but we were greeted by some wonderful snow upon our arrival in Himeji! Harry was so filled with knowledge and stores about the castles purpose, and was sure to tell us all about the different legends surrounding it. The view from the top is incredible as well! just make sure your calves are ready for some steep stairs 😂 Upon his suggestion, I also checked out the beautiful gardens next to the castle grounds, and they certainly did not disappoint. The lunch set was also absolutely delicious! Arima onsen town is also beautiful - and if public baths aren’t your thing, there are plenty of shops and little eateries for you to indulge in! the view from Mt Rokko was also a sight to behold! would definitely recommend this tour! the sights were wonderful! thank you again Harry!!

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.

Yuri was such a great guide! She makes you feel at ease in bus full of strangers. Tour started and ended on time! I love that she sends personnal dinner recommendations too! My son especially enjoyed the DIY Ramen... The entire tour was not rushed and we had ample time to explore...

The experience was great, especially the ropeway experience. I was quite scared since it was a bit windy and the thing that we were riding on was swaying during the windy times. But overall, it showed great views and offered a great experience for both of us.

I was able to use the Osaka Amazing Pass and various other facilities and products very conveniently. Pre-booking was a great help for a smooth trip, and the cost-effectiveness was excellent, which greatly helped reduce travel expenses, so I was very happy. And thank you. In addition, I think it is an essential option for a fulfilling, enjoyable, and convenient trip, so I highly recommend it to many travelers.

Kobe Port Tower is such a nice spot to unwind and enjoy the city’s coastal vibes. The tower’s red design really stands out, and the view from the top is beautiful. A relaxing stop if you’re exploring Kobe!

Aquarium + Art. what more could you want? Woeth a visit but try to avoid weekends, it gets pretty crowded. Different themed areas, itsxeasy to while away the hours here. Be prepared to take lots of photos!

Easy booking: You can reserve the pass and attractions online via Klook, receive a voucher/E-ticket, and redeem at designated locations.  • Convenient travel coverage: The JR Kansai Mini Pass part provides 3 consecutive days of unlimited rides on JR local & rapid trains in the Kansai region (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe etc) for foreign-visitors.  • Bundled attractions: The pass package includes 3 selected attractions/venues in addition to the transport pass — a nice way to combine transport + sightseeing, which adds extra value.  • Good value: Many travellers report that, if planned well (visiting multiple cities + using several attractions), the bundle saves money compared to separate tickets.

Really nice park with a good view. Everything is naturally a bit dated, but otherwise great. Worth a visit. Especially to support the small parks.
