Discovering a new city, especially one like beautiful Kobe, is exciting but it's even more fun when you get to do it with a friend by your side. That is exactly what it will feel like as you delve into the heart of Kobe with one of our hosts from the area. Get ready for an adventure as you explore a city renowned for its marbled beef and framed by vast mountains and scenic harbours. Here you will find the Ikuta Shrine, one of Japan's oldest Shinto shrines that dates back to the 3rd century. Grab your hiking boots and amble up Mt. Rokko, where you can take in the panoramic views over the port. And don't worry, if your legs can't carry you any further there are cable cars to hitch a lift on. Venture beyond Mount Rokko and you will come across the outdoor hot springs of Arima Onsen and if that is not your vibe you could always explore a specific area you’ve been dying to see, or immerse yourself in the city’s exciting food culture. Kobe is a hive of activity and while you may not be able to experience it all in half a day, your host will help you plug into its pulse. From fine dining to city centre shopping, animal petting as well as its famous seafront and beautiful scenery, we all have an idea of how we would like to spend our time in a city and we will help you get there.

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
