Cycling Tour to See All the Highlights in Kobe in 1 day!
0.0/5.0

Cityscapes and spectacular views! There are so many places you must visit!


Here is a great plan to enjoy Kobe, one of the most popular tourist areas in Kansai, all in one day!

You will come across tones of unique cultures in Kobe, for example, a fusion of Japanese and international cuisines, a waterfall in the middle of the city, one of the largest man-made islands in the world.

It sounds quite difficult to get around in one day, even if you use public transportation. However, you can efficiently tour around the city of Kobe by using an electrically power-assisted bicycle.
 In this tour, you will visit all the highlights of Kobe at once while enjoying cycling.

First, we will ride our bicycles around Sannomiya Station and head for Nunobiki Falls. From the observatory, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city of Kobe while enjoying the rich nature that you would not expect in a big city.
From there, we will go down the hill and stop at Kitano Ijinkan-gai (Kitano Ijinkan district) to taste the beautiful streets that are a must-see when in Kobe. 
We will also visit a scenic Japanese garden, a lunch spot where you can enjoy Kobe's unique food culture, and a special photo spot on Port Island.

This plan is recommended for those who want to enjoy sightseeing with a bicycle!
