Three days in Kobe — from a 1,800-year-old shrine hidden downtown to gold-spring hot springs behind Mount Rokko. This route covers the harbor, the hills, and everything between.

Day 1 – Ikuta Shrine, Meriken Park, Motomachi Shopping Street
A shrine founded in 201 AD sits inside a forest grove in the middle of downtown. The waterfront promenade gives you Port Tower, the skyline, and the preserved earthquake damage all in one frame. Motomachi’s covered arcade has been Kobe’s commercial spine since the port opened.

Day 2 – Nunobiki Falls, Herb Gardens & Ropeway, Kitano Ijinkan-Gai
Hike into the gorge behind Shin-Kobe Station to a waterfall that’s been in Japanese poetry for centuries. Ride the ropeway over the falls to one of Japan’s largest herb gardens. End in Kitano, where Meiji-era Western mansions still line cobblestone streets above the harbor.

Day 3 – Mount Rokko, Arima Onsen
Take a century-old funicular up Rokko for panoramic views across Osaka Bay, then cross the mountain by ropeway to Arima Onsen — one of Japan’s three oldest hot spring towns, with gold and silver spring waters side by side.
