Experience the "mountain nature" of Kobe at this magnificent waterfall, surrounded by the sound of water and sunlight filtering through the trees.

Guide's Recommended Points

The ropeway's greatest attraction is its panoramic views, so we'll guide you to the best viewpoints depending on the weather. The herb garden has a variety of themes, so we'll adjust our route according to your purpose, whether it's photography, strolling, or visiting the cafe. Nunobiki Falls is attractive for its natural beauty that makes it hard to believe it's so close to the city, so we'll guide you at a comfortable pace. The waterfall's appearance changes depending on the season and rainfall, so we'll introduce the highlights according to the conditions of the day. The Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum becomes more interesting when you understand "how to use the tools," so we'll explain the key points. We'll also incorporate how Kobe's mountain and port topography relates to the scenery and the formation of the city.
