Discover the best of Kobe in one day with a friendly local guide.
Choose how to explore — "on foot and by public transportation (without car)" or " with a driver-guide (wagon car)".
As Japan’s first international port, Kobe offers a unique mix of East and West. You’ll visit shrines, Western-style houses, and the historic foreign settlement, showcasing the city’s charm.
Beyond the city centre, explore Nada’s sake breweries, Arima Onsen, and mountain views.

This private, flexible tour lets you experience the real Kobe — your way, on foot or by car.
