Description
Would you like to see some of the wonderful sights in Kobe - as well as plan your own unique experiences with the help of a local? If so, then this tour is for you!
This 5 hour walking tour takes in many of Kobe's wonderful sights including Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum, Nunobiki Herbal Garden, Sannomiya shopping street and Harbor Land.
You also have the chance to add extra stops depending on your interests - such as having a Kobe beef lunch, going to a cosy cafe, visiting an art gallery or chatting to locals...just let your guide know and it can be arranged!
This tour is ideal for travellers with small kids, those in wheelchairs, or people who want to explore at their own pace instead of in a big group.

This experience takes about 2 hours. I will be there to help communications with the chef. Please contact me for more details. (The ¥5000 fee includes the chef's cooking class and all ingredients. Drinks are not included. The menu can be customized based upon requests.)

Kobe to Ōsaka to Kyoto. She
Showed us the sights and told us about local culture And history. She was extremely flexible to our desires and catered to us all the time.
We lunched on local cuisine and tried all her recommendations which were delicious. Her constant smile and desire
For our comfort And education was joyful to us.
Kaoru could disappoint no one . We would recommend her Highly. We made a new
Friend.
Kaoru selected a special restaurant - Eita. We have had Japanese food before, but we have never had anything as exquisite as today’s lunch .👍
Kaoru was so patient with us. She was understanding and so accommodating even when we changed our schedule several times. My husband uses a wheelchair so that was difficult at times. At Nunobiki Gardens, even though the wheelchair was “automatic” electric, it was still a challenge. We could not have handled it ourselves. We really appreciated Kaoru's assistance with that.
There were 4 of us traveling together, so every time we got a taxi, Kaoru would run to our next stop and meet us there. She was amazing.
At the end of the tour, my sister discovered that she had left her purse in the taxi. We panicked! but Kaoru handled the situation in such a professional manner. I don’t know what we would have done without her. The taxi driver found the purse and returned it - that says a lot about the people of Kobe.
It was a joy to have Kaoru as our guide. She has a winning personality and a kind heart, and she was sensitive to our needs.
We enjoyed Kobe thoroughly thanks to Kaoru. If you ever want to have a personalised Kobe city tour, I would not hesitate to recommend Kaoru.
