Explore Kobe with a friendly local guide! Ideal for travelers visiting for sightseeing, business, or arriving on a cruise.

Kobe offers a unique blend of Western and Asian cultures with scenic views. From the waterfront to the mountainside, discover top highlights with local insights.

For lunch, upon request, we will reserve a recommended restaurant, including Kobe beef spots. You can order and pay directly on the day.

Kobe is compact and walkable, so we explore on foot. If needed, we can also use public transport like buses and trains.

We fully customize the schedule, pickup location, and start time. After booking, our team will contact you to arrange the plan.

Upon request, we can visit suburban areas like Nada sake breweries for tasting or Arima Onsen. Visiting these spots may require adjusting the route.

We look forward to welcoming you!
