Walking tour at my pace. Guide was accommodating to needs/wants. Tour gave a different perspective of Kobe and Arami area. Built a friendship.
There were a few unexpected situations during the tour, such as one of the landmark buildings being under renovation and the foot bath being closed, so we are very happy to hear that you still enjoyed the experience. We truly appreciate your understanding and your warm comments about the tour. Thank you again for joining us in Kobe and Arima, and we hope to welcome you again in Japan someday.
Nice walking day tour for sure! Day started meeting Yuta on time at the predetermined location. Turns out the other attendees cancelled, so I had a personal tour. We walked and talked and saw the sights indicated on the itinerary. Yuta was very knowledgeable about the area, sights, and food! For English speakers, Yuta spoke English very well and was easy to understand. If you don't like crowds, the 9:00 tour is perfect, hit one of the same spot later in the day alone, and it was packed! Looking forward to catching him again in Osaka!
This guided tour was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met our guide at the JR station, we knew we were in for a special experience. The tour seamlessly blended history, culture, and stunning landscapes, allowing us to explore both the vibrant port city of Kobe and the serene, traditional Arima Onsen town—all without the stress of planning logistics ourselves. Kobe’s international influences were fascinating, and our guide provided rich historical context that brought the city’s past to life. Then, crossing over the Rokko Mountains into Arima Onsen felt like stepping into another world—peaceful, charming, and steeped in tradition. Walking through the nostalgic streets, learning about the area’s deep history, and soaking in the relaxing atmosphere made for an unforgettable experience. The pacing was perfect, and our guide’s expertise made the journey smooth and engaging from start to finish. If you’re looking for a well-rounded, immersive introduction to Kobe and Arima Onsen, this tour is an absolute must. Highly recommend!
The Harbourside walk, Chinese Garden, prevous foreign settlement, shrine, observation tower. It was changed to an afternoon tour and it was too late and dark to go to Arima onset. Yuta was kind to change the itinerary to cater to my interest.
We went to many locations including port tower, china stree in the middle of the city, and even Onsen town. The guide was so flexible and patient to our requests. You won't regret it!
Chinatown, and Arima Onsen town (quaint and walkable!) but way up towards the mountain. Good eating in Chinatown, and good shopping in the area around Chinatown. Free public hot foot bath in Arima...worth the walk!
