Itinerary

  1. 1

    Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens

    2 hours

    Once we reach the top, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views along with the pleasant aroma of herbs and flowers. From there, we will slowly walk through one of Japan’s largest herb gardens, where approximately 75,000 herbs and flowers of approximately 200 species bloom all year round. After spending some time in these beautiful gardens, we will return to the ropeway station and prepare for our descent. After landing, we will start walking towards Kitano Ijinkan. We can see different styles of the houses. Some are Western, some are modern and of course some are Japanese. Finally we are here, the exotic Ijinkan street.

    Kitano Ijinkan-gai

    Continue walking down the road until we reach this Starbucks in Kitano area. It is listed as one of the tangible cultural properties in Japan. This Starbucks is very beautiful inside and out. It is also a popular photo spot. Then, we will continue on our way to the Ikuta Shrine. It is the oldest shrine in the area and probably also one of the oldest in Japan.

    Itami Morohaku and Nada's fresh sake - Itami and Nada Gogo, a famous brewing area born from sake
