About Kobe

Kobe, a scenic port city in western Japan, exudes a unique atmosphere of charm and sophistication. Its standout attraction is the iconic Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens, a picturesque hillside garden with stunning views of the city and a variety of floral scents. Travellers also adore sampling the city's renowned Kobe beef, a delicacy known for its exceptional tenderness and rich flavour. The best time to visit Kobe is during the spring (March to May) when the city's parks and gardens are in full bloom, or autumn (September to November) when the foliage is breathtaking. For first-timers, consider purchasing a Kobe City Pass, which grants access to many of the city's top attractions, including the Nunobiki Herb Gardens, and provides convenient transportation throughout the city.
