We had a wonderful time. Norio our guide was very patient with our slow pace group. The Herb garden was spectacular. He allowed us to stop at a local restaurant with authentic Kobe beef which he recommended. Very knowledgeable and gracious.

Yes, we visited Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens, Kitano Ijinkan-Gai, and Chinatown in Kobe that day. The views of Kobe City, Osaka Bay, and the Kii Peninsula from the Herb Gardens were truly beautiful.
It was also a pleasure to take your group to a local restaurant in Kitano, where you enjoyed authentic Kobe beef steak.
Thank you again, I truly enjoyed spending the day with your group.

Thank you so much for your kind review!
It was a rainy day, but luckily, we enjoyed the Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens without getting wet.
We spent a little more time shopping in Kobe’s Former Foreign Settlement than planned, but I’m glad we visited all the places on your list.
I hope you also enjoyed the Kobe Bay Cruise and delicious Kobe beef steak!
Thank you again, I had a wonderful time showing you around Kobe.

Kobe Half-Day Adventure
We had such a fantastic half-day tour of Kobe with our wonderful guide, Norio! We started with the ropeway and beautiful Herb Gardens, then headed off for a hike through nature to see the waterfalls. The day finished with a boat cruise around Kobe Harbour.
Norio was an excellent guide — friendly, knowledgeable, funny and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable.
A perfect mix of scenery, adventure, culture and fun. Highly recommend this tour and especially Norio!

Yes, we visited Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens, hiked along the Nunobiki Waterfalls trail, and enjoyed a Kobe Bay Cruise.
It was a bit hot that day, but the view of Kobe from the herb gardens was beautiful. Walking through nature was so relaxing, and the view of Kobe from the sea was amazing.
Thank you again. I had a wonderful time with both of you, and I’m very happy that you enjoyed your time in Kobe.

We had the best time in Kobe
Our guide Chiyuki was the best part of the trip. Super earnest, so generous with her knowledge of the history and culture. The tour had a lot to cover, from the sake making area to the Kobe Herb Garden Ropeway on the opposite side of the city, all in one afternoon. Miles to cover but never once did we feel rushed. We had lovely conversations along the way and tons of pictures to take home. Last but not least, when we requested for her recommendations of Kobe beef places, she pointed us to a top notch Kobe Beef Teppanyaki option - while prudently ensuring it was a value for money experience. You are the best Chiyuki - grateful for your hospitality and gracious hosting.

Absolutely amazing tour and guide
This was the perfect Kyoto tour for our family (two older kids). LJ was the absolute best guide. He explained things along the way and made sure we could have memorable photos to go along with our trip. Our kids haven’t stopped raving about him and the tour which never happens! This is a must do for Kyoto

Dear Jason and Sarah,
Thank you very much for joining the tour and sending your message to me.
I am so sorry for the delayed reply, as I wasn't feeling very well.
I hope you enjoyed it. Are you in Okinawa now?
We enjoyed the magnificient views from Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. It was thrilling to look down on the sea walking on the transparent reinforced glass panels of the corridor of the tower.
Then, we moved to the Nunobiki Herb Gardens. The views from the gondola and the slopes were amazing. We could also smell various kinds of herbs.
I am also glad to hear that you enjoyed Kobe Beef dinner.
I hope these beautiful memories will stay with you forever.
Sincerely,
Etsuko

Kobe Variety.
Our delightful guide, Norio, was knowledgeable and a master at train negotiation! A highlight of the tour was the Herb Garden and Ropeway visit. The Sake Brewery and Museum was interesting with fabulous explanation from Norio combined with outstanding exhibits and tastings! He then left us to wander at our leisure in Chinatown.

Thank you so much for your kind review.
Yes, we visited Kobe Nunobiki Herb Garden, Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum, and finished the tour at ChinaTown.
In the Herb Garden, the roses were so pretty and beautiful, and the views of Kobe from there were breathtaking.
And, we enjoyed learning the complicated process of Sake making.
Thanks again, I had a wonderful time with you three.

A fantastic time!
We were met by Harumi Sagayama, our guide, at the Shinkansen station. We immediately bonded over a shared love of Sumo, in particular as her favourite and ours are brothers! She went over the itinerary and adjusted the order of things to suit our preferences. Harumi was very knowledgeable, showing us the best order in which to view the Herb Gardens .. an hour seemed like a long time but we could have stayed there longer!
We went on to view the earthquake memorial, go shopping, check out several museums and had a great tour of Kobe, with extensive explanations of the history of the city.
We had many options for lunch but decided on an authentic Japanese experience .. the menu was hand-written in Japanese only and the food was delicious, although we would have been utterly lost without Harumi translating for us!
When we went to pay for lunch we discovered a disaster-my wife had lost her wallet! Harumi was extremely helpful, taking us back to the last place she had used the wallet. The shop had no idea but Harumi took us to the security office and thankfully the lost was found! Given that the wallet had all of her ID, credit cards etc if we hadn't found it we would have been in considerable trouble but Harumi stayed with us past the official end-time of the tour to ensure that we retrieved the wallet and that we were all set for our return trip.
She turned what would have been disaster around, and we are profoundly grateful!
Not only a skilled and wise guide but a friendly, helpful and resourceful person!
We would highly recommend her for anyone interested in learning about Kobe.

Thank you for your kind comments.
We had a very enjoyable tour.
I was also relieved that your wallet was returned. I believe this is due to your good character.
Please come to Japan again. I would love to enjoy sumo wrestling with you.

Great Tour in Kobe
My wife and I visited a Sake Brewery and the Ropeway and herb garden in Kobe. Both atractions were excellent. We were shown around by Mizu our guide who was brillant; very professional and informative and a great character. We highly recommend Mizu and the attractions, not to be missed.
