Had a WONDERFUL time with Ryota doing a private tour! So easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Started the day at the port. Highly recommend going up the Kōbe port tower for amazing views. Then on to china town for some shopping and food and to wrap it up, he took us to a BEAUTIFUL Japanese zen garden which was especially amazing since the leaves were changing. Thanks Ryota!

Ryota was so easy to talk to which made the entire tour so much fun. He took us to great locations and then at the end helped us get to another spot we wanted to see. We had such perfect day!

Our guide Giken was a lovely fellow who knows his way around Kobe. He is very flexible so be sure to let him know if there is something you wish to see. He also takes great photos

Hamu was an excellent tour guide! Although I booked a short tour, we managed to cover a lot of ground and see everything I hoped for. Hamu also shared fantastic recommendations for things to explore on my own, which made my experience even better!

This tour in Kobe was fantastic! The cable car ride to the top gave us beautiful views, and the walk down through the botanical gardens with a waterfall stop was unforgettable. We finished at a shopping mall where my wife found the perfect souvenir for our granddaughter. Our guide, Rio, was wonderful — friendly, helpful, and such a pleasure to talk with. He really made the day special. Highly recommend this experience!
