Overview

Enjoy a leisurely 7-hour tour of Kobe, a port town that developed and flourished after Japan opened its ports to the world in the mid 19th century with a local guide. From the north in nature rich Mt. Rokko, downtown Kobe City in the south where you can enjoy shopping and gourmet, and Japan's leading sake breweries in the eastern Kashiwa sake district, enjoy a varied atmosphere in this coastal city. This tour covers all the best Kobe has to offer. We also offer pick-up and drop-off at Kobe Port making this a convenient day trip for those visiting Kobe on cruise ships such as the “Diamond Princess” or the “Celebrity Millennium”.

Itinerary

  • Nunobiki Falls (Nunobiki-No-Taki) (Pass By)

    The view of the water falls from high above was breath taking. Enjoy from great view from the sky.

  • Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens

    The Nunobiki Herb Garden is Japan's largest herb garden with 75,000 herbs and 200 flower species. Take some time to relax while gazing out at the view of Kobe City from the rich nature of Mt. Rokko from the observation plaza, the terrace, and Kaze no Oka Square. You can also take a 10 minute stroll down the ropeway’s skywalk to get yet another great view of Kobe’s cityscape, Nunobiki Falls, Gobonmatsu dam, and more.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum

    After the herb garden, head on over to the Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum- a short walk from Shin-Kobe Station. Established in 1984, it is the only carpentry tool museum in Japan. Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum moved to its current location at Shin-Kobe Station in 2014. More than 35,000 items are on display in the museum, and the increasingly rare carpenter tools from this disappearing craft are collected and preserved as part of Japan’s ethnic heritage. In addition to seeing the exhibition, you can indulge in all five senses by touching the carpentry tools, appreciating the structure of Japanese wooden architecture, and smelling the fragrant wood. There are also many touch panels and videos with easy to understand explanations, making the exhibition accessible to many visitors.

    1 hour

  • Ikuta Shrine

    The most popular shrine where many people come to visit in Kobe. In addition to becoming Kobe's name origin, this shrine honors the god of marriage. Hundreds of couples hold their wedding ceremony here each year. Also take a look at the water which is said to tell the future.

    20 minutes

  • Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum

    Hakutsuru Sake Brewery is a brewery that has always been at the forefront of trends in the sake industry such as introducing drinking chilled sake, and selling other sake in easily accessible plastic bottle containers. The museum was made by remodeling the No. 1 sake storehouse. In order to reproduce the traditional sake brewing process in an easy-to-understand manner, a three-dimensional displays of sake production, including life sized figurines, are on display. You can also partake in a sake tasting at the main sake corner on the 1st floor.

Fabulous day in Kobe with a super guide

Published on May, 2025

Our guide, Aki, was lovely. She was knowledgeable about all of the venues and took us to a wonderful Kobe beef restaurant for lunch. Nunobiki Herb Garden and Ropeway was beautiful, and the carpentry museum was a surprisingly great stop that gave us an immense appreciation for how temples and shrines were built with such intricacy. We were thrilled to learn that Aki had recently completed her sake sommelier certification, so she was able to answer many of our questions. This tour involves a lot of walking, steps and slopes but worth it. Two thumbs up for Aki making it a very memorable visit to Kobe!

Great tour

1 Day Kobe highlights with Sunny!

Published on Apr, 2025

My husband and I had a wonderful day exploring the Spectacular gardens at Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens and Ropeway. We enjoyed a tasty strawberry ice cream in the morning and continued to stroll through the gardens. The colours of the flowers were amazing. Then Sunny took us to a restaurant and we enjoyed a Kobe Beef lunch together it was great. We then went to brewery for sake tasting then visited a shrine and then a stroll through Chinatown. Thank you Sunny for a wonderful day you gave us interesting information and looked after us well. Your English was fantastic you are a lovely lady. Thank you for making our day in Kobe so memorable. Thank you!

One of the Best Tours We Did

Published on Apr, 2025

We did a full day tour of Kobe with Koko. It was one of the best days we have had in Japan. Koko speaks perfect English and was a delight to talk to the whole tour. She inquired about us and what we liked and then tailored the tour to what we wanted to see. She also taught us a lot about a Japanese culture and history. It was perfect. From start to finish. Can’t wait to come back and do another tour with Koko.

Excellent Curated Kobe 1-Day Tour

Published on Feb, 2025

We truly appreciated our guide Ms Mizuho for curating our day tour at the onset by presenting options for us to choose from that suited our personal preferences. We enjoyed her companionship and insights throughout the day experiencing the interesting places she brought us to.
