Ready to explore Kobe? This trip was all about city views, waterfront vibes, and easy-breezy transport hacks 😎🚌 From riding up Mount Rokkō for epic panoramas to chilling by the Port and iconic Kobe Port Tower, here’s how to make the most of your Kobe adventure! Must-See Places: - Mount Rokkō (Mount Rokkō, Arimacho, Kita Ward, Kobe, Hyogo 651-1401, Japan, Open 24/7): Take the city loop bus up to this scenic spot and snap some sunrise or sunset pics—the views stretch all the way across Osaka Bay! - Port of Kobe (5 Chome Minatojima, 650-0045, Japan): Stroll along the promenade, watch ships (and the occasional luxury cruise liner) roll in, or just vibe with the sea breeze at any hour. - Kobe Port Tower (5-5 Hatobachō, Chuo Ward, Kobe, Hyogo 650-0042, Japan, 9am–11pm, admission ¥47): Head up the retro-futuristic red tower for 360° city + bay views. Pro tip: visit in the evening for a sparkling cityscape! Top Hack: Kobe’s city loop and port loop buses make exploring so easy! Just hop on—they stop right at all the major sights and run frequently, so you’ll save tons of walking time (and yen!). Getting Around: Use city loop and port loop buses for stress-free sightseeing. They’re cheap, cover all main attractions, and perfect for short stays. Food Rec: Try local beef at a nearby steakhouse or grab street snacks at Nankinmachi (Kobe's Chinatown), just a quick bus ride away. Extra Tips: No visa needed for short stays if you’re from most Western countries. Cash is queen for small eats, but most sights accept cards. Weather can change fast on Mount Rokkō—pack a light jacket! #KobeViews #JapanTravel #CityLoopBus #VisitKobe #PortTower

BE KOBE

Walk around the amazing city of Kobe and enjoy taking great photos, then sit at Kobe port’s cafe to enjoy your drink while having an excellent view. This is the place I can refresh and relax while quiet, but there are many things to enjoy if you are adventurous. The Kobe is located near the most popular tourist attractions in Japan, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and behind the Rokko mount there is a unique town called Arimaonsen with natural hot spring which is something extraordinary especially in Winter and Spring. The other side of Kobe connects to Awaji Island that 100% shouldn’t miss it because not only the beauty of the island but also you will cross the amazing bridge of Akashi which is similar to Golden Bridge.
