Activity itinerary

Minatogawa Shrine
  • 20m
One of the two most popular shrines in Kobe City. It is a shrine, and for this one, it is more muted... without the famous orange/red every where. Very popular for many different important celebrations for locals.
Meriken Park
  • 1h
We will be passing through Harbour land and Meriken Park. This is a beautiful port area for both locals and travellers alike. In Meriken there are many eateries and shops to browse.
Kobe Motomachi Shopping Street
  • 20m
The place where locals love to shop. Closer to Daimaru store, the shops are more so cosmopolitan, and going towards the Kobe Station side, you see a mix of new, and old (many generations owned stores).
Chinatown (Nankinmachi)
  • 20m
China Town nestled on the side of Motomachi. You will feel like you are in a totally different area from when you step into this street.
Sorakuen Garden
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Prior Kobe City Mayors private residence. On the grounds, a European designed horse stable, beautiful Japanese gardens with hidden areas to explore, and an old boat house. Also transplanted here is a home from a foreign settler tradesman; and most days we are able to tour through this home.
Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
8-hour Experience is recommended if you would like Nunobiki Falls included. Nunobiki features the flowers that bloom in the season you visit. As you walk down the garden paths, you have views of the Kobe City Ocean/Sky line along the way. Fun ride up the mountain on a rope-way "gondola"; and on your ride up, you can see the Nunobiki waterfall, and other homes, foliage.... and not forgetting to mention, the skyline view of Kobe City. Once at the top, visit the essential oil museum and smell some samples, walk down the path with many smaller gardens placed in beautiful patterns, and visit a greenhouse with wonderful sight and sound of streaming river. If you want, you can also have lunch at the herb restaurant, (with courses of edible flowers). You can't go wrong here if you want to see all that Kobe City landscape has to offer, (mountains, oceans, and all thats in between).
Kobe
  • 30m
Want to try KOBE BEEF? We can end your tour at a recommended restaurant, so you can take your time enjoying. If you prefer to have Kobe Beef for lunch during your experience, we can do that too.
Suma Beach
  • 1h
Seasonal - during Summer and early Autumn months. Although quiet on many of the months of the year, the summer gets fun with the pop up restaurants with music playing, stroll some through the warm waters, and people watch as some are perfecting their selfies.
Kobe
  • 1h
What OTHER INTERESTS did you have in mind? Sake Tasting? We can either go to a local brewery museum, or go to a popular sake bar. Your choice, just let us know.
Ikuta Shrine
  • 15m
One of two most popular shrines in Kobe City. Vibrant colours, old history, and getting to this shrine is fun because you go through the entertainment part of Kobe.
