Kobe—Port City to the Samurai

Are you wondering what to see in Kobe city? The must-see attractions include the stunning Kobe Tower and waterfront area and the thrilling Nunobiki ropeway and Herb Garden. From the top of the ropeway, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the entire city on a clear day. Don't miss out on these amazing sights during your visit to Kobe.


Naturally, you may want to indulge in the world-renowned Kobe Beef, known for its exceptional marbling and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Pair it with a glass of local sake for the ultimate culinary experience in Kobe. After a satisfying meal, take a leisurely stroll through the historic hilly streets of Kitano-cho, where you can admire Western-style houses from the Meiji era. Make the most of your time in Kobe and explore all it has to offer!


I highly recommend a visit to Kobe Chinatown (Nankin-machi). This vibrant and bustling area is a must-see destination for anyone looking to experience the rich culture and delicious cuisine of Chinatown. With its colorful streets, traditional architecture, and mouthwatering food stalls, Kobe Chinatown is sure to delight all who visit. Don't miss out.


If you still have time, take the train a few minutes west from Kobe along the Setonaikai (Inland Sea) to Maiko. There, you will find one of the most incredible man-made creations standing tall: the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, second-longest suspension bridge in the world. You can even visit a viewpoint inside the bridge itself. It's a must-see experience that will leave you in awe of human engineering and innovation!
