Kobe Highlights with the Magnificent view

Kobe Highlights with the Magnificent view

Kobe city is located in the south part of Hyogo prefecture, and is the biggest city in the prefecture. It is characterized by a long district which spans from the east to the west, the port which forms a fan-shaped inlet, and the modern and western cultures in Japan. The city is between mountains and the ocean. Kobe port played an important role being one of five ports which were opened after the long isolation system in Japan. Let's enjoy visiting those places by public transportation together.

Himeji Castle, The Set of The Last Samurai or Engyoji Temple

Himeji Castle, The Set of The Last Samurai or Engyoji Temple

In 1993, Himeji Castle was designated as the first World Cultural Heritage site in Japan. Because of its striking beauty and elegance, it is popularly known as the "White Egret castle", but in fact it was an impregnable fortress. Next, I would like to introduce you Engyoji Temple, where the movie "Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe was shot. The temple is located about 6 kilometers northwest from the Castle. We can take a bus and a ropeway from Himeji station to the Temple.

Exploring Kobe, Hyogo

Kobe come to a vital life again from intense earthquake that hit on Jan 17, 1995. Kobe always creates us a resplendent, exotic mood that the cosmopolitan city has. The old foreign settlement where sophisticated modern architecture still remains upper town must be the reason to ferment that atmosphere and give the period of cosmopolitan flavor. At Meriken Wharf, you can hear the whistles of ships and touch cultural history in this city.

Ashiya Rock Garden Hike with Soba Lunch in hidden Gem

Ashiya Rock Garden is a rock climbing area and rock climbing slope located in the Rokko Mountains, stretching from Ashiya City in Hyogo Prefecture and is known as the birthplace of rock climbing in Japan. It is characterized by a unique landscape of exposed weathered granite and boulders. It can be reached in about an hour from the nearest station, and is considered easy even for beginners to tackle. It is important to bring shoes that are non-slip, even on rocky terrain.

Kobe Shore Excursion: Scenic Ropeway, Herb Garden, Tea Ceremony & Kobe Beef (Kobe Port Terminal)

“Disaster never happened ”

Our guide did not check which cruise terminal our ship was located so went to the wrong one.She had the ship name months ago. She did not seem to know there were two terminals. We waited in the cold For one hour she arrived but did not know where to park her car. We gave up and cancelled and proceeded on our own. We would like our money refunded

KOBE BEEF tour ver.②

“What a beautiful experience!”

Dear Natsuko, Thank you for the wonderful day in Kobe and for the many beautiful moments. From the very beginning, it felt to me as if we had known each other for years —that’s not something to take for granted, and it’s clearly a gift you have. As you know, the Herb Gardens and the time and experience with Matsuda-san deserve a review of their own—thank you for that as well. And finally, thank you for your understanding and patience with my arrival. I thought that after so many weeks in Tokyo I had mastered Japan’s train system—but I was clearly mistaken. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. Thank you for everything — thumbs up, 5/5!

Natsuko I.

Hi Stefan, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I also felt as if we had known each other for years. It felt like strolling around Kobe with a long-lost friend. I was happy to see you enjoying the shortcake at the Herb Gardens and witnessing your joy while tasting the real Kobe beef at the restaurant. I truly look forward to seeing you again. Next time, let’s explore the harbor area together!

“Very wonderful guide”

Responded quickly. Even when I was late on arrival and we still managed to see everything! Would book with her again if I was going to other places in Japan

Natsuko I.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It made me happy to see you savoring every bite of the Kobe beef. I hope you have lovely memories from Ikuta Shrine, Chinatown, the matcha café, and the sake tasting at the Kobe Port Tower. I also enjoyed being your tour guide. If you come back to Kobe, please reach out to me! Natsuko
