You will meet your guide at your hotel in Kobe around 9 am.
The city is famous for its unique sake flavors and the most exquisite marble beef in the world, Wagyu. For a closer acquaintance, it is worth visiting a sake distillery to taste a selection of local products. For a Wagyu experience, we recommend stopping at a Teppanyaki restaurant to try its delicious beef meals.
One of the city’s main attractions is Marikan Park, a favorite place for admiring maples, especially in late fall. The Kobe Maritime Museum is also interesting; it is made of glass, and its roof resembles a giant ship. In the local Chinatown, there is a picturesque Nanjing Park. The Nunobiki Waterfall, sung by ancient Japanese poets, is also worthy of a separate walk. Another Kobe attraction is the Akashi Kaiko suspension bridge, the longest bridge of its kind. It leads to the fairy-tale island of Awajima, known from Shinto mythology. Your Kobe tour will end with a cable car ride up to Mount Rokko, a local natural landmark with stunning views of the Inland Sea and the whole city. By the end of the trip you will get back to your hotel in Kobe.
