The hotel service was good. The hotel is located next to the side gate of Ikuta Shrine, in a quiet environment, and the massage was also good. Free coffee is provided in the hotel lobby on the 1st floor. The room can accommodate a suitcase size of 24-26 inches, and you can see Ikuta Shrine directly from the room window. During my stay, many international tourists were staying at the hotel. It is not far from various subway lines, and you can find various restaurants, drugstores, etc. in the surrounding area (breakfast was not used this time).

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!

The Kobe Nunobiki Herb Garden was such a beautiful and relaxing spot to visit! You take a scenic ropeway up the mountain, and the view of Kobe along the way is stunning. At the top, the gardens are filled with colorful flowers and herbs. There’s also a cafe where you can sit back and enjoy the view.
