What To Expect

1

Mt. Rokko

Mount Rokko (六甲山, Rokkōsan, 931 meters) is the highest peak in the Rokko mountain range, which provides the pleasant green backdrop to the city of Kobe. Panoramic views of the heavily urbanized Hanshin region (Kobe and Osaka) can be enjoyed from the mountain and are particularly spectacular around sunset.

•Admission Not Applicable
2

Shin-Kobe Trail

Shin-Kobe Ropeway (新神戸ロープウェー) is one of three services that lifts tourists up the southern slopes of the Rokko mountain chain. The ropeway departs from next to Shin-Kobe Station, Kobe's shinkansen station. As it ascends, it passes by the Nunobiki Waterfall and the Nunobiki Herb Garden, giving a nice aerial view of both. The highlight of the ride lies in the observation deck located just beside the top station, which offers spectacular views of Kobe and is a popular night view spot.

  • Good tour of Kobe

    Overall the tour was good. Could it have been better, the answer is yes. Our tour guide Norio, was prompt and kind and took us to see everything. He barely spoke English so he was difficult to understand at times. Also, he got lost in one of the subways. Not a big deal, it was more embarrassing for him more than anything. Also, it appeared that he was required to take numerous photos of us on his phone to show the tour company that he was actually working. NOTE to tour companies, please trust your tour guides because it’s annoying to stop and take these “pictures.”
