Things to do in Kobe

Gary is a superb tour guide. Throughout the tour he shared a lot of information related to the places we were visiting, this gave me an impression that he is very knowledgeable and he cherishes his job as a tour guide. my family and I enjoyed the tour to Himeji Castle, Arima Onsen and Mount Rokku very very much! Thanks again Gary. From Group 12 (tour 28 Nov 2025)

this is the very first time that we booked this kind of service. this is aint cheap but worth the money. the driver is professional and on time. he picked us up from our hotel and drop us again in the same location in the evening. the vehicle is clean and comfortable. we communicated to the driver via viber. we really enjoyed this day in Kyoto and Nara. i will booked this again the next time I have guests who wanted to visit Kansai.

Amazing experience! The Kobe Port Ferris Wheel Hot Spring Night View Day Tour was absolutely wonderful. Our guide, Mathew, was exceptional — friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive throughout the trip. He explained everything clearly, took great care of the group, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The itinerary was well-planned, giving us enough time at each stop, and the night view was truly stunning. The transfer was comfortable and perfectly on schedule. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The garden itself was really worth visiting, spacious area to explore. I was there when they organised Christmas market up there, you could feel the authentic original vibe of Christmas up there. Just a gentle warning that the queue for cable car can be very tedious as of the Christmas market, it took me for an hour to line up for cable car to go up, pre-booking ticket does not help, there is no priority lane for online tickets holders.

I got off at Umeda Station and took a direct bus, and after getting off the bus, I walked to Dainokoyu Onsen in less than 5 minutes! It was so good! The gold bath, silver bath, gold sauna, and open-air bath were all so so good! The sauna facilities were also good, and it was spacious, so it was a great place to rest^^ I highly recommend it! If you walk a little bit, there is a place to bathe your feet for free at the gold bath. It is great value for money! Be sure to take a direct bus from Umeda Station and go comfortably💕

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!

Entry is permitted after 11 AM. Present your QR code to the staff at the entrance. They will provide you with another QR code for scanning to enter. However, purchasing tickets on-site is also recommended. The sign indicates ticket sales begin at 11:00 AM, but they actually start selling earlier, allowing you to enter sooner 😂. Food inside is quite expensive, but the souvenirs are extremely cute.

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.

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!
