Passeios por Sannomiya Station

Our guide and driver, Saifu, was very thoughtful, sending a meeting video to the group, and drove smoothly throughout the trip. When we arrived at Mount Rokko to enjoy the night view, it was still a bit bright at 7:30 PM, and it seemed we were about to gather and head back. Saifu, not wanting to disappoint everyone, announced a 20-minute delay, allowing us to finally admire the legendary million-dollar night view. Many thanks! Regarding the itinerary, I suggest shortening the time at Kobe Port and extending the visiting time at Kitano Ijinkan so that travelers have more time to explore.

This is a very good tour for you to know more about the places of interests in Kobe. The tour guide Tin is very helpful, gentle, soft spoken and friendly. His command of English, Mandarin and Cantonese is extremely good.

Mr. Zhou's service is excellent 👍!

Our guide Ayako was knowledgeable and had great English. She went above and beyond to make our day as seamless as possible and we had a great day exploring the sights of Kobe. The confirmation email received from the company prior to the tour perfectly explained the itinerary for the day and even included photos of where to meet and a photo of our guide. Our only suggestion would be to add the expectation to pay for the guides lunch as an item not covered in the tour cost. While we didn’t mind, it would be good to know this in advance before booking the tour.

The attractions were great, but unfortunately, we didn't have enough time. At Kitano Ijinkan, after paying to visit two major Western-style houses, we quickly picked out souvenirs, took photos outside the Starbucks, and then rushed back to the bus. At Arima Onsen, we paid to experience the Kinsen (Golden Hot Spring), but when we came out, we found that most of the old town shops were already closed. We didn't get to explore much before we had to gather and get back on the bus. For the Mount Rokko night view, because it gets dark later in summer, we initially only saw a 500,000-dollar night view. Thanks to our driver and guide who notified us on LINE to delay our departure time, we eventually got to see the million-dollar night view, which made us incredibly happy! I suggest adding a tour guide to introduce the major attractions and recommend good food and shopping spots; that would be even better!

The Kobe tour was very relaxing and enjoyable. A big shout out to our tour guide Joy, who was very nice and gave us a glimpse into the history of Kobe. The Kobe Port, the train ride to Mt. Rokko, and having coffee at Starbucks, which by the way was the first one in all of Japan, made the trip worthwhile. Not to mention the Kobe Beef, which was super delicious!

Tour guide Nick Li was amazing!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Japan and was very flexible with the itinerary. It was very nice to have someone to guide us to our locations without the stress of using the trains. But also be ready to walk!
