The Kobe Port during the day is very romantic, and the Kobe Port at night is very charming and has its own beauty. Kobe Port in Kansai, Japan, is a worth visiting attraction, praise.
The night view of Kobe Port in Kobe Prefecture, Japan is very good, with a romantic atmosphere and the air is very fresh. In summer, it is very cool both during the day and at night, making tourists linger. At the same time, Kobe’s food is also very famous. It is so happy to taste the food and enjoy the night view at Kobe Port.

where this place to go for skiing in the winter and sightseeing in the summer , the cables are ok , the night scenery of the city looks great too
Lots to do beyond just scenery. We took the cable car from Rokko Shita Cable Car station to Rokko Sanjo station up the mountain. I would recommend getting the bus to explore the mountain as there are restaurants and better views up the top. For those with athletic kids/ active adults, definitely would recommend checking out the athletic park - some fun ninja warrior style obstacle course there. We had a blast!

Maybe it was not the season, the flowers were rather withered and the species were very ordinary. The view from the top was good, but not very spectacular. The cable car went up to the top of the mountain, then walked halfway up the mountain and took the cable car down. It was not tiring and very relaxing. I bought drinks, ice cream and hamburgers on the mountain, which were not bad.
Nice garden. Can see the entire Kobe port town and far away Osaka. Variety of flowers.

The Ferris wheel is so beautiful when it turns on the lights after dark, and it keeps changing colors. It is a good place to enjoy the night view of Kobe. The night ride is very romantic. There is a Hello Kitty themed car that overlooks Kobe Port.
Japan likes to install Ferris wheels everywhere. Some of them are really spectacular, but the one in Kobe Port is not. It can only be regarded as a landmark building in the local area, but it is not very fun.
The Ferris wheel is right next to the Mosaic shopping mall. It is very eye-catching when the lights are on at night. It is very easy to find when walking all the way from Kobe Station. I didn’t plan to take it at first. The ticket of 800 is not cheap, but I was embarrassed by the enthusiastic salesperson.
The Ferris wheel itself is relatively old. The only claim is that you can see the night view of Kobe Port, but I live on the top floor of Okura. And in the Mosaic downstairs, there are Ferris wheel coupons for buying things. I obviously lost money by going to the Ferris wheel first. Alas

Kobe Meriken Park is definitely worth a visit! It's right next to Kobe Port, offering stunning views of the red port tower and cruise ships docked. The lights are stunning at night, and the park also boasts historical relics from the Great Hanshin Earthquake. The modern art sculptures and flower garden clock are also perfect for photos! The UMIE shopping district is nearby, so you can enjoy Kobe beef or seafood after a stroll. Transportation is also convenient, just a 10-minute walk from JR Motomachi Station. It's definitely worth a visit.
Take a walk in Kobe Meriken Park~ Every time I come to Kobe, I will come here to take a walk. Kobe Tower is still fenced. It has been a while. The last time I came in 2019, Kobe Tower was fenced.
be kobe is like the slogan of Kobe, a must-check in~ Take a walk and see Kobe~

The Japanese-style rooms and the floor with goldfish and carp were really nice. It was a stylish and beautiful facility. The cost performance may be questionable. Even if you take your time, it took about 2 hours.
It's perfect for a date! I've been there three times (lol).
It's a fusion of art and an aquarium, and it was a very relaxing space👍
You can get there from Sannomiya and Motomachi stations, but it's a little far from both💦 I felt it was a little closer to go from Motomachi station.
But it's within walking distance, so I recommend it! There is also a restaurant nearby where you can see the fish swimming, so you can enjoy your meal in a romantic atmosphere❤️

Nankinmachi in Kobe, Japan, is one of Japan's three major Chinatowns and is perfect for travelers who enjoy food and exotic culture. Located in Kobe's Chuo Ward, it boasts approximately 100 shops, primarily restaurants, offering a wide variety of Chinese cuisine. Nankinmachi's architectural style is strongly influenced by Chinese traditions, and the streets are lined with red lanterns, creating a lively and festive atmosphere. The restaurants here specialize in authentic Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine, making them a favorite among locals and tourists alike. For Chinese cuisine, we recommend trying the freshly steamed dumplings (such as Lao Xiang Ji), Nanjing shumai, and knife-cut noodles, which cost between 800 and 1500.
Suggested duration: About an hour, allowing for plenty of time for shopping and dining. You can also explore Kobe Port and enjoy the stunning night view.
Nankinmachi (なんきんまち) is the common name for a narrow area between Motomachi-dori and Sakaemachi-dori in Chuo-ku, Kobe City. More than a hundred years ago, after the opening of the port of Kobe, Japan, the Chinese brought Chinese food from afar and formed the Nankinmachi Market, which is the predecessor of Nankinmachi. It is also a registered trademark of the Nankinmachi Shopping Street Revitalization Association.
