Exploring Kobe, Hyogo

Kobe
9 hours

Kobe come to a vital life again from intense earthquake that hit on Jan 17, 1995. Kobe always creates us a resplendent, exotic mood that the cosmopolitan city has. The old foreign settlement where sophisticated modern architecture still remains upper town must be the reason to ferment that atmosphere and give the period of cosmopolitan flavor. At Meriken Wharf, you can hear the whistles of ships and touch cultural history in this city.

Great Tour!

I booked this for my parents who were visiting Tokyo. Nobu was responsive and told me everything I needed to know so I could relay the information to my parents. My parents said he was very knowledgeable about the sites they were at and enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in experiencing Mt Fuji!

Fantastic way to explore Tokyo

Yumi is the best. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. Her depth of knowledge about Tokyo in general, the long history of the city, the insights into culture, people and food was such a great way to explore the city and it's wonderful sights. Highly recommend.

Yumi I.

Renate san Thank you very much for your super wonderful and quick review. You two were very friendly and so nice. Today is so hot and humid, you might be really tired. I learned many information from you by talking about many things. You have walked a lot today and you must be tired. Please get enough rest and prepare for the rest of your trip in Japan. From tomorrow onwards, I hope you will enjoy your first trip to Japan in Tokyo, Hakone, Kanazawa and Kyoto or Nara and so on and make many wonderful memories. And please come back to Japan again. Thank you for everything. Yumi
