What travelers think of our Kobe experiences
What you’ll do
If you’re visiting Kobe for the first time, chances are you want to find your feet amid the colorful sights and smiling faces that make this city so special.
Nestled between a scenic harbor and vast mountain ranges, there is just so much to experience in Kobe and you probably want to get right to it, but it can be daunting figuring things out in a new city - especially if you don't speak the language and can’t read the signs!
So, why not let one of our super-friendly local Kobe hosts show you the ropes so that you can get on with the important business of exploring?
They can't wait to introduce you to their lively city and it will feel like you are with an old friend as you get orientated. Depending on your vibe, you could check out some top attractions, stroll across the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, explore the area where you are staying in or just follow your feet on an adventure.
A quick trot from the Hanshin Motomachi station will lead you to Kitano Koubou - a trendy workshop and studio area full of local shops where you will find the best souvenirs! Plan B - grab your host and head down to a restaurant or cafe where you can sit down to a meal (Kobe beef is famous for good reason) and get the inside scoop on where to go, how to get there, and what to see.
