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.

About Tour Guide Atsuko T.
Hello. My name is Atsuko.I'm a licensed tour guide in Japan.
I have lived in Osaka since I was born.
I have guided many tourists all over the world as a volunteer for 6 years. I like showing my tourists my favorite places in Japan and talking with them.

I'm happy to visit those places with you.

“Wonderful Tour Guide”
Atsuko is a Wonderful tour guide. She is professional, respectful, kind, energetic, and very fun to spend the day with. We spend 2 days with her. One day to Kyoto and went to beautiful Arayashima Bamboo Forest and Tenryu-ji Temple, and even rode the train that goes through the river gorge that was absolutely lovely. The 2nd day we went to Himeji Castle and Kobe. Atsuko was a wealth of information about both places we enjoyed learning from her. The castle was so amazing and historic, and Kobe had a great Chinatown with yummy food. We were also were impressed with the gorgeous and modern Port of Kobe. We loved having Atsuko as our tour guide and highly recommend her!

“Kyoto Day Trip”
Atsuko promptly replied to questions/concerns prior to our confirming our booking which put us at ease. We are from California and an elderly friend from the states also happened to be in Osaka joined up so there was 4 Adults. Atsuko promptly met us at our Hotel in Osaka, explained the plan for the day & off we went. 1st Stop: The Bamboo Forest: 2nd Stop: The Golden Pagoda; 3rd Stop: Lunch @ Local Restaurant (she picked a Great Choice!) 4th Stop: Nijo Castle; 5th Stop: Kyoto Station; 6th Stop: Gion Area; 7th & Last Stop: Nishiki Market It was not just the various places we visited, Atsuko went through the places with us to explain its significance & history. She pointed things out that we would had missed if we toured on our own. The were other stops on our itinerary but my wife & elderly friend who is not accustomed to such walking became tired so we shortened the tour. Atsuko was very kind & patient as we occasionally needed to wait to them to rest-up. I highly recommend Atsuko and would certainly refer acquaintances to her upon knowing their plans to visit Osaka and/or Kyoto.
