Things to do in Hyogo

The tour was conducted in Chinese, which I didn’t know beforehand, haha! So I couldn’t really understand any of the explanations since everything was in Chinese. Other than that, I’m still glad I joined this tour because visiting these three destinations on my own would have been quite difficult. Overall, it was a convenient way to see all three places in one day!

there are signs everywhere from the subway line to the herb garden. the garden is pleasant and well maintained. would recommend the roundtrip ropeway tickets if you like to spend time taking photos of the flowers and landscape. the ropeway brings you up to the top of the hill and you make your way down to the first station to take the ropeway back to the ground level.

The Naruto theme park is absolutely fantastic! There are Naruto walls and so many great spots for photos. Even just taking pictures and watching the Naruto show was a blast. The admission ticket includes the Ten-no-Maki and Chi-no-Maki games. The maze in Ten-no-Maki really requires stamina and time to complete, and Chi-no-Maki was also a lot of fun. I'm so glad we persevered and finished both games; it was enjoyable and unforgettable, super fun! Plus, Ichiraku Ramen was surprisingly delicious. No wonder Naruto loves it so much! ❤️

The missions are great and fun (although the girl at the end of the earth scroll wasn't very enthusiastic that day). The food was good and the atmosphere was great. What I liked least was that many products in the store were random, and I prefer to pay for what I really want, not leave it to chance.

I initially wondered if it was worth visiting KidZania in Japan when we could go to one in Korea, but my child really wanted to, so we went. And it was absolutely fantastic! At first, I was a bit flustered because it wasn't a kiosk reservation system like in Korea, but I got used to it and it was fine. The staff were friendly, the programs were diverse, and it was great to experience professions that aren't available in Korea. It's a shame we couldn't try the sushi chef, chocolatier, pizza master, or soft-serve ice cream shop because reservations were full. Unlike in Korea, the bank was convenient because you could visit freely without set times. It was nice that they gave us a card and a KidZania wallet to wear around our necks when we opened an account. Most importantly, booking in advance through Klook made for easy entry. If I get the chance to visit Japan again, I'll definitely go back!

A package allows to to enjoy all rides return trips. The view up there is fabulous and makes your want to stay longer.

The open-air bath was wonderful! The relaxation areas within the facility were also very well-maintained, so I was able to rest comfortably on the last day of my trip. My only minor disappointment was that most of the hot spring users were local seniors, and some tourists were talking loudly, making the bath area echo. While it's natural for families to converse, it would be great if tourists like us could be a little more mindful.

Kobe Animal Kingdom is very accessible, located right down the stairs from the Port Liner exit. There is a good variety of animals inside. You can line up near the entrance to interact with cats and dogs, and some of the animals roam freely or fly around, meaning they will walk right past you, making the experience very authentic and fun. Be sure to check out the scheduled feeding times and shows. There are also optional paid activities where you can feed the animals yourself and participate in other experiences. Compared to a typical zoo, Kobe Animal Kingdom feels much closer and more engaging for interacting with animals.

i had fun at the naruto village. we had some missions to complete there.
