Experience the nature and history of the city at a Japanese garden in Kobe
"Sorakuen" where you can feel the "Japanese" of the four seasons
Sorakuen is a Japanese garden called ``Ikeizumi Kaiyushiki,'' where you can cross stepping stones and stone bridges, and see the formations of flowing water and waterfalls. It feels like entering a deep mountain valley. Another point is that you can enjoy the scenery of each season. In the fall, the leaves turn red, and in the spring, about 4,000 azalea flowers bloom in bright colors. The 300-year-old cycads are planted in clusters and grow thickly all year round, making it a cool place to stroll around in the summer.
Enjoy historic buildings
There are many important cultural properties within the park. There are important cultural properties such as the ``Old Hassam Residence,'' a Japanese-Western fusion building designed by an Englishman, and the ``Funayakata,'' which was built from part of the Himeji feudal lord's pleasure boat. You can admire historical buildings and enjoy the scenery of those days.
You can enjoy Japanese gardens from various angles, with seasonal plants, historic buildings, and various backgrounds.
Easy to access and enjoy from the city center
From Sannomiya, Kobe's premier entertainment district, take the JR/Hanshin train to Motomachi Station, one stop away, and walk for about 10 minutes to arrive. It is an easy tourist spot for those who come to Osaka and Kobe for sightseeing!
Barrier-free, safe for elderly people and families with children
There are slopes in some parts of the park, which can be used by people in wheelchairs and strollers. There is also a dedicated route, so you can walk around with peace of mind.
