This is a tour that is worth taking two, three, or even more times!!! 🤩💕 The guide was so kind and took care of every single little detail, from A to Z. Since I was traveling with my parents, they loved it so, so, so much 👍 and keep saying they really want to go again 🥹🧡. I think this is the only tour that includes Kobe Suma Sea World among the Kobe tours ☺️. Especially the dolphin show 🐋 and killer whale show 🐳—you MUST!!!!! see them, and you won't regret it! My parents loved it so much and were still talking about how memorable it was the next day 🥰. While looking around the aquarium, the guide explained things about the fish one by one, giving us such detailed information. Thanks to that, we left knowing about many different types of fish and various sea life ☺️. I really wanted to take my parents to Kobe Suma Sea World, and I thought the night view tour would be nice, so I booked it, and I feel like it was a choice with zero regrets! After that, we watched the sunset at the beach, took pictures, checked out the famous Starbucks ⭐️, looked around the streets there, and then went to see the night view, took more pictures 🎡, and had a meal. The restaurant recommended by the guide was delicious 😋, and get this: Sapporo draft beer there is only 199 yen!!!!!!! 🍺 Even including tax, it's 218 yen. It's a great chance to enjoy cheap Sapporo draft beer 👍, and it's just right before heading home 😊. The guide even takes pictures for you~~ Guide Cho Jun-young and the female guide who came along were both so kind. I asked about some minor personal things 🥹, and they paid attention to every little detail and helped me out so thoughtfully. Thank you so much 🧡. Thanks to our guides, we made so many wonderful memories with my parents 🩷🩷🩷. Thank you 🥰❤️❤️

This is the perefect itinerary for us because it starts at 11 am so we didn't have to wake up super ealry. It also allows us to explore the locations on our own with enough time without feeling rushed. Cave was an excellent guide! We were the only English-speaking tourist in the group but he made sure that we know everything that we needed, even if he had to repeat all that he said from Mandarin to English.

This trip to Kobe was truly unforgettable, and I especially want to give a big shout-out to our tour guide, Rick! 👏🏻 Rick was incredibly dedicated, effortlessly switching between English and Chinese with perfect fluency and no awkwardness. His explanations throughout the tour were detailed and engaging, showing his deep knowledge and passion for Japan. Besides sharing historical backgrounds, he also pointed out scenes and settings from Japanese dramas that took place in the areas we visited, which gave us a deeper understanding of Kobe and left a more lasting impression. Moreover, Rick's recommendations for local food were spot on! The ice cream and bread in Kobe were absolutely delicious, each one clearly made with care, adding so much to our trip 😋 **A little anecdote:** When we arrived at the entrance of Mount Rokko, we realized we had accidentally left our wallet at a Lawson convenience store in Arima Onsen. We were really anxious, but Rick remained very calm and immediately helped us contact the Lawson staff. We were even luckier to encounter a driver from his company, who, without hesitation, drove us down the mountain to retrieve our wallet. The entire process was efficient and thoughtful, and we are truly grateful for their help! This trip was not only fun but also filled with heartwarming human kindness. Good people deserve all the best 🫶🏻 I wholeheartedly recommend Rick as a tour guide; he is professional and reliable. I will definitely book with him again next time! 🌟

Our tour was very enjoyable. All of the attractions on the tour were very interesting! Our guide, Naoko, was excellent. When the ropeway to the herb garden was suspended due to gusty winds, she nimbly pivoted to another attraction that was every bit as interesting and graciously covered the ticket cost. We had a lot of fun and were very pleased with our experience. Highly recommended!

Both the attractions and the schedule management were very satisfactory! Each spot had enough time allocated for the visit, and the unique features of Kobe were introduced in great detail. Arima Onsen was also wonderful, especially beneficial for the legs. Being able to make a round trip to Kobe in a single day and still see the million-dollar night view makes it feel like a great value!
