VISIT KOBE

A leading Kobe resort park right near downtown that overlooks the city from high in the mountains.

In around 10 minutes, the ropeway whisks visitors up to sweeping views of Kobe and Osaka.

The gondolas’ large windows offer views of famous sights including Nunobiki Falls and Gohonmatsu Dam, an Important Cultural Property.

Upon alighting at an altitude of about 400 meters, you are soon surrounded by 75,000 herb and flower plants in some 200 species, blooming seasonally in 12 thematic gardens.

Enjoy colorful dishes at a restaurant that does justice to its herb garden location, take afternoon tea in the luxurious café lounge, or out on the breezy terrace.

Relaxing in one of the hammocks hanging throughout the gardens would be a superb way to spend the day.
