Hidden Local Bars Hopping tour in Kobe
Kobe is not a famous for tourists in Japan. So you can enjoy a travel dIfferent from Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. I take you 3 bars that you can not find alone, and you can experience that you have not tried many things before. Moreover those are bars with a unique style that can only be found in Japan. The first bar is "Tachinomiya" at near a railway alley. We have to drink and eat without seats, `STANDING`. :) The second bar is "Izakaya", the most popilar bar style of special atmosphere in Japan. There are rare Beer, Shochu or Awamori (Japanese distilled spirits). The third bar is Koryoriya which a Sake Sommelier do hospitality. They offer special and the most recommended Japanese Sake of the day. And you can try Japanese home made cuisines. Those are only known to local persons. All of those are my favorite and recommendation because there are few tourists come for no English menu. In particular, Koryoriya is unknown to tourists. So I belive you can make Special memories.

URA*KOBE Japan’s Rural History and Hiking
Step into Japan's timeless countryside—just a short ride from Kobe. Yamada Village, in the northern Rokko foothills, has a farming history dating back to the Yayoi period. Once a major rice supplier to Kobe, its terraced fields and thatched-roof houses still reflect a lifestyle rooted in nature and Shinto beliefs. This tour explores three cultural gems: make rice balls at the 100-year-old Satoyama Experience House (Kerekele), visit the Shimotaniue Kabuki Stage at Amatsuhikone Shrine, and walk through the peaceful Rokujo Hachimangu Shrine, where Shinto and Buddhism coexist. The tour begins in Sannomiya with your guide. Pickup from Osaka is also available upon request. In Japanese, "URA" means the "back" or "hidden part," which is the opposite of "OMOTE", meaning the front. It's like something quietly sitting just behind or right next to a place. So, "URAKOBE" is about a village that's like a special, untouched treasure, quietly found on the "URA" side of the modern big city of Kobe.
