Hi, I’m Yoshiko, your friendly host in Kobe! What I love most about this city is its cozy cafes, stunning city views, and the warm atmosphere of the people. Kobe is also a paradise for food lovers, with its delicious breads, sweets, and unique local dishes. I enjoy spending my days exploring different cafes, sipping on great coffee, and indulging in the city’s incredible food scene. I also love taking peaceful walks by the sea, soaking in the city views, and discovering Kobe’s rich culture along the way. I know the Sannomiya, Motomachi, and Shin-Nagata areas inside out, and I’m happy to guide you through their hidden gems. Whether it’s a visit to serene shrines and temples or uncovering local shops and stories that only a true Kobe native would know, I’m here to make your experience unforgettable. Let’s explore Kobe together!
We had the most wonderful experience exploring Kobe thanks to our amazing tour guide, Kako. From the moment we met, it was clear how much care and passion she put into sharing her city with us. What truly touched us, though, was the kindness shown beyond the tour itself. As a heartfelt gesture, Kami’s 10-year-old daughter made us beautiful origami flowers — delicate, colorful, and full of love. It was such a sweet and personal touch that we’ll never forget. It reminded us that travel isn’t just about the places you see, but the people you meet. If you’re visiting Kobe, we wholeheartedly recommend this tour guide. You’ll not only learn so much about the city but also leave with memories full of warmth and connection.
