Things to do in Kobe

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.

nice food and good service. Chef James cooks in front of us. He is very nice and kind. Food is tastey as you can see from the pictures.

wonderful tour, enjoyed the walk around ikeda where the cup noodle museum is located, Arima town is beautiful , must wear sneakers for the long walk. Enjoyed all the activities, thanks to Junyoung our guide who snapped amazing photos for the group

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.

It was a very pretty place! If you like nature, this is a good spot, especially for taking pictures. Every spot is instagram-worthy. Also, booking on Klook is cheaper than buying round trip tickets there! There’s also a lot of elevators around the area.

i had a wonderful experience in this onsen, so relaxing and very convenient. However, i forgot my black wrist watch (Sophie Martin) in the locker that I used in no.2201. How can I claim it back? I went there awhile ago April 1,2026 (around 1pm). pls respond to me in my email at ardith.telewik01@gmail.com

Nice little tower. Good view and surprisingly clean windows. The revolving restaurant only has a very small selection, but it was enough for me. For me, it's a must-see if you're in Kobe.

This is a very unique and nostalgic amusement park. The aerial lift, the slope car, the monorail bicycle, and the sightseeing ropeway without seatbelts (where you have to hold on with one hand and let your feet dangle in the air) are all must-do activities at Sumaura Sanjo Amusement Park. Also, don't miss the revolving restaurant, where you can savor delicious food while enjoying 360-degree views of the scenery below the mountain.

We were able to enter Attoa immediately after showing the QR code ☺️. Booking through Klook was very easy. The facility was very enjoyable, even for adults. I would have been happier with a slightly larger discount on the price. For Port Tower, it's more cost-effective for those aged 65 and over, or residents of Kobe City celebrating their birthday month, to purchase tickets directly at the counter, as they receive a 50% discount.
