This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Minatogawa Shrine, 3-1-1 Tamondori, Chuo-Ku, Kobe 650-0015 Hyogo Prefecture

It is a shrine, and for this one, it is more muted... without the famous orange/red every where.
Very popular for many different important celebrations for locals.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Meriken Park, Hatobacho, Chuo-Ku, Kobe Hyogo Prefecture

We will be passing through Harbor land and Meriken Park.

In Meriken there are many eateries and shops to browse.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Kobe Motomachi Shopping Street, 3-13-1 Motomachidori, Chuo-Ku, Kobe 650-0022 Hyogo Prefecture

The place where locals love to shop. Closer to Daimaru store, the shops are more so cosmopolitan, and going towards the Kobe Station side, you see a mix of new, and old (many generations owned stores).

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Chinatown (Nankinmachi), Chuo-Ku, Kobe Hyogo Prefecture

China Town nestled on the side of Motomachi. You will feel like you are in a totally different area from when you step into this street.

Stop At: Sorakuen Garden, 5-3-1 Nakayamatedori, Chuo-Ku, Kobe 650-0004 Hyogo Prefecture

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens, 1-4-3 Kitanocho, Chuo-Ku, Kobe 650-0002 Hyogo Prefecture

8-hour Experience is recommended if you would like Nunobiki Falls included.

Nunobiki features the flowers that bloom in the season you visit. As you walk down the garden paths, you have views of the Kobe City Ocean/Sky line along the way.

Fun ride up the mountain on a rope-way "gondola"; and on your ride up, you can see the Nunobiki waterfall, and other homes, foliage.... and not forgetting to mention, the skyline view of Kobe City.

Once at the top, visit the essential oil museum and smell some samples, walk down the path with many smaller gardens placed in beautiful patterns, and visit a greenhouse with wonderful sight and sound of streaming river.

If you want, you can also have lunch at the herb restaurant, (with courses of edible flowers).

You can't go wrong here if you want to see all that Kobe City landscape has to offer, (mountains, oceans, and all thats in between).
