• Kobe is famous for its high-quality Kobe beef—but this beautiful port city offers much more. It’s home to Japan’s largest sake-producing area, one of the oldest hot spring towns, and scenic views of both the sea and mountains.
• On this full-day private tour, a local guide will take you around Kobe in a comfortable 6-seater van. The route is planned to efficiently cover cultural spots, local neighborhoods, and scenic areas. Expect short walks, photo stops, and smooth drives.
• Kobe is less crowded than Kyoto or Osaka, offering a more relaxed and pleasant sightseeing experience.
• Lunch is not included, but your guide will suggest local restaurants based on your taste. If you want to try Kobe beef, we recommend booking it in advance as an optional add-on, since many restaurants are often full and may require waiting.
• This tour is also ideal for cruise ship passengers arriving at Kobe Port, with convenient pickup and a flexible, stress-free itinerary.

We’ll visit Meriken Park, a waterfront area home to some of Kobe’s most iconic landmarks — including the striking Kobe Port Tower, the popular BE KOBE monument perfect for photos, and a preserved structure from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake that serves as a powerful reminder of the city’s resilience.
