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.

About Tour Guide Atsuko T.
Hello. My name is Atsuko.I'm a licensed tour guide in Japan.

I'm happy to visit those places with you.

“A peaceful day of discovery”
Atsuko guided us through pavilions, zen gardens and bamboo forests during a very busy period, yet the whole day felt calm and well planned. She was prepared, informative and genuinely lovely to follow. We learnt a lot, captured great photos and stayed on schedule without any stress. A wonderful experience from start to finish.

“Visiting Nara Park”
It was a pleasure to have Atsuko as our guide! She made everything so easy for us as we were traveling with three old twins. She tailored our itinerary to accommodate our needs and took us to all the key areas and also found a restaurant that accommodated all 6 of us in our party for lunch. Atsuko was very knowledgeable and had a calm disposition which suited us very well. I give her two thumbs up and five stars!!

“Excellent Experience ”
Believe and trust all the high reviews. I am glad I did. Atsuko made my first experience using Gowithguide an incredibly one. She is an amazing guide, very responsive from the start. Extremely organized, helpful and patient. She communicated often throughout the entire experience. Provided an itinerary based on individual interests. Presented a print of the itinerary with pictures the day of the trip. She was very good in explaining the history of each place during the tour. Even at the end she said goodbye by giving a souvenir. Because of this wonderful experience I look forward to using Gowithguide on my future travels. Thank you Atsuko. Arigatō Kindly from Amalia

Hello Ms. Amalia, Thank you for your kind review and comment for me. I really appreciate your words. It was hot and humid yesterday but you were enthusiastic about visiting Kyoto and learning the history and culture there. I was very happy to show you my favorite areas and talk with you. Unfortunately, we could not take Shinkansen. I hope you can take it on your next trip in Japan. Please enjoy the rest of your journey. Thank you. Best regards, Atsuko

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.

We can take a bus and a ropeway from Himeji station to the Temple.
