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.

There will be a lot of people on weekends. The performance is mediocre and there is nothing special. It can be regarded as a tourist attraction in Kobe, but don't expect too much. When visiting the aquarium, remember to avoid the end of the performance, as there will be a lot of people.
The newly opened Kaiyukan on June 1, 2024 is right next to Suma Beach. The theme is killer whale and dolphin performances with the sea as the background, which is very friendly to the eyes. There is a restaurant in the museum. You can see killer whales in the killer whale restaurant. The closing time is 5 o'clock.

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.

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!

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 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❤️

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.
