FULL ITINERARY

Port Pick-up - Your Welcome to Kobe

Upon arrival at the cruise terminal, your English-speaking guide will be waiting with a personalized welcome sign. After a brief introduction, settle into a comfortable private vehicle and begin your exploration of Kobe with Shore Excursions Asia, offering relaxed and well-paced Kobe shore excursions.

Maiko Marine Promenade - Views from the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge

Begin your day at Maiko Marine Promenade, an observation walkway built within the iconic Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, one of the world’s great suspension bridges. Elevated above the sea, the enclosed promenade offers a fascinating perspective where modern engineering meets coastal beauty.

From the viewing windows, enjoy open vistas across Osaka Bay, the Seto Inland Sea, and the distant outline of Awaji Island.

Nunobiki Herb Garden - Ropeway & Mountain Scenery

Continue toward the foothills of Mount Rokko, where a scenic ropeway carries you gently above Kobe. As the cabin rises, expansive views unfold across the city, harbor, and sparkling bay below.

At the summit, discover Nunobiki Herb Garden, Japan’s largest herb garden. Seasonal flowers, fragrant pathways, and elegant terraces create a peaceful retreat high above the city, inviting a slower and more refreshing pace.

Return to Cruise Port

At the end of your exploration, relax in the comfort of your vehicle as you are transferred back to the cruise terminal with ample time before departure. The day concludes with lasting impressions of Kobe’s coastal beauty and hillside charm.
