It felt great to look at the whole view of Kobe from the outdoor observatory while cutting through the cool breeze. It was also fun to watch the crowds of people in downtown Kobe.

We visited 8 attractions and the ticket cost about 8,800 yen. Among them, Nunobiki Herb Garden, Kobe Animal Kingdom and boat ride (Atakumaru) are really worth visiting and experiencing.

If you are traveling to Kobe, I recommend the Tourist Smart Passport. You can use popular tourist spots in Kobe for free or at a discount for a set number of days. I used it for Nunobiki Herb Park, Ferris wheel, cruise, hot springs, etc.

I used the Tourist Smart Passport to visit many famous places during my two-day trip to Kobe. Thanks to it, I was able to travel inexpensively and enjoy the Nunobiki Herb Garden Cable Car, Kobe Mosaic Ferris Wheel, Kobe Harbor Cruise, and Arima Onsen Gin-no-yu.

Was a bit hard for us to get to. About a 30 min walk uphill from Oike Train Station. Clean and comfortable! There was a bit of mildew damage in bathroom but that is understandable. Staff was very helpful as we are tourists that do not speak or can read Japanese. Would maybe go back if near Kobe again next trip!
