Top Kobe Nature and Wildlife Tours

Skip the ticket line and enjoy general admission to Kobe’s Animal Kingdom, an animal and flower park located primarily within a greenhouse on Port Island. Created by Japanese botanist Kamo Mototeru, the park is based on the concept of “contact” with animals and flowers—the former roam freely among visitors in reproduced “natural” habitats. If you’re traveling with kids, stop at the petting zoo for close encounters with dogs, cats, and rabbits.

This private and customizable tour for Kobe is perfect for guests who would like to have their own itinerary planned based on their interests and preferences, allowing guests to experience the city at their own pace.

Mt. Rokko is not far from Kobe city center and is loved by citizens and tourists as a spot where they can easily enjoy nature. In this tour, we will visit Mt. Rokko, which has a fashionable atmosphere that has become a tourist attraction, and Mt. Maya, which is loved by the locals, and introduce the highlights of each. Mt. Rokko has been close to human habitation areas since ancient times, and as a result of deforestation for various purposes, it existed as a devastated mountain. You will first visit Mt. Maya via ropeway and cablecar to "Kikuseidai" where you can enjoy a spectacular view. After spending some quiet time at an ancient temple with a history of over 1300 years, we will take a bus to Mount Rokko, where we will enjoy lunch at the observatory cafe. Afterward, we will take a walk around Mt. Rokko, overlooking the spectacular view from the top of the mountain. Let's go on a journey to learn about the history hidden in the mountains of Kobe and experience the beauty of nature.
