The zoo is great to experience, with indoor and outdoor areas. Children love Capibara the most. You can also visit it in the hot summer. When it's hot, you can enjoy the air conditioning in the indoor restaurant.
Зоопарк хорошо организован, разделен на отдельные тематические зоны с различными животными. Посетители могут свободно ходить среди них! Видно, что о животных заботятся, спасибо! Исполнилась моя мечта увидеть момонгу и красную панду.

It was a worthwhile trip! I loved it so much! I thought I could spend 3 hours here, but I ended up spending the entire afternoon exploring. I even missed a spot. I didn't think the killer whale show would be anything special, having already seen one in Shanghai, but the Suma show was still a surprise. Same with the dolphins. The food was also very affordable. I was so happy that I bought tons of gifts, and then I forgot to buy some fridge magnets. I was so pissed! 😤
The biggest surprise in Kobe was a last-minute half-day trip to Kobe. We decided on the subway to visit the Suma Aquarium. We followed the crowds and walked for ten to fifteen minutes after exiting the station. We booked tickets on Ctrip and entered the park smoothly. It's called an aquarium here, but the main attraction is the killer whale performance hall and the dolphin performance hall on both sides. You can sit and watch the show while looking at the sea. It's a two-birds-one-birds experience. From the time we arrived in Kobe, the aquarium trip took two to three hours. After the subway, we went back to Kobe to eat Wagyu beef.

kids paradise in the city , funny characters and must try the breads there , love them very much, kids just love the show and bought many toys
A place suitable for family fun. When we arrived, it was already closed in the evening, so we didn't go in to visit. We took photos at the entrance of the museum. We went to the mall and bought Anpanman bread. They are all so cute. You can also make bread by yourself during business hours! The bread tastes good, soft and delicious.

The Art Aquarium near Kobe Port is small, but the exhibition layout is unique. Some of the five senses interactions are interesting, and some of the lighting effects are beautiful. It is suitable for couples and children to take photos. The variety of creatures is not as large as that of a large aquarium, but the atmosphere is better.
This small aquarium is definitely worth a visit. If you only have a few hours left in the city, you must go. Although there aren't many interactive shows, the overall visual experience is very rich. 😌

Very worth visiting niche attractions, sheep can be intimate, there are not many foreign tourists, the distance is cumbersome but the road is full of scenery and there is only one road to transfer. The cheese in the souvenir is great! Unfortunately, you need to calm down. There is also the famous night view of Liujia Mountain nearby. Interested can wait until the evening, climb to the top to watch the distant Kobe port relaxed and happy.
Rokkosan Ranch, nestled 930 meters above sea level on Mt. Rokko in Kobe, is an experiential ranch themed around the interaction between humans, animals, and nature. From 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM, the sheep graze freely. Grab a feed bucket and be instantly enveloped by the bleating of the sheep, a truly soothing touch. Then, head to the northern section's "Cow Area" to feed a two-month-old calf. Watching its intense sucking will melt your heart. In the afternoon, head to the "Dream Workshop" in the basement of Q.B.B. Cheese House in the southern section. With just 15 minutes' notice, you can personally transform fresh ranch milk into rich ice cream. Pair it with the Hawaiian shaved ice made right there on site to beat the heat. Horseback riding, treasure hunts, and sheepdog shows ensure a varied day. Before leaving, don't forget to snap a panoramic photo of Kobe at "Green Point" to capture the mountain breeze and milky aroma in your photo album.

This was a fun and enjoyable park. The ferris wheel was big and colourful. It is also a world famous port for cruise ships.
Rinkailand is located on the harbor edge of Kobe Port. It has both indoor and outdoor playgrounds with a large number of entertainment facilities. The outdoor one is dominated by the famous mosaic Ferris wheel, while the indoor ones are mostly electronic amusement rides. It is very good and very popular among young people. It is worth a visit.
