• Port of Kobe Earthquake Memorial Park - On January 17, 1995, at 5:46 am, the city of Kobe experienced the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake, which led to the loss of over 5,000 lives and the destruction of tens of thousands of homes. The Earthquake Memorial Museum, part of the Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution (人と防災未来センター, Hito to Bōsai Mirai Center), was established in 2002 to honor this tragic event and educate visitors about earthquakes and disaster preparedness. The museum features a large screen theater with realistic depictions of the earthquake’s impact, a documentary on the recovery process, extensive information about the earthquake, and various interactive disaster prevention games.
• ロープウェー山頂駅（バス） - The Shin-Kobe Ropeway (新神戸ロープウェー) is one of three services that transport tourists up the southern slopes of the Rokko mountain chain. The ropeway departs from beside Shin-Kobe Station, Kobe’s shinkansen station. As it ascends, it offers a scenic aerial view of the Nunobiki Waterfall and the Nunobiki Herb Garden. The highlight of the ride is the observation deck located next to the top station, providing breathtaking views of Kobe and serving as a popular spot for night views.

• Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens - The Nunobiki Herb Garden is one of Japan’s largest herb gardens, featuring hundreds of herb species and seasonal flowers. A glasshouse in the garden allows for the cultivation of flowers and fruits such as guavas and papayas throughout the year.
• Nunobiki Falls (Nunobiki-No-Taki) - Visitors can hike down from the ropeway station to get a closer look at the falls!
• Akashi Kaikyo Bridge - The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, stretching nearly four kilometers, is the world’s longest suspension bridge. Opened in 1998, it spans the Akashi Strait (Akashi Kaikyo) between Kobe and Awaji Island and is part of the Kobe-Awaji-Naruto Expressway, one of three expressways connecting Honshu with Shikoku. The Bridge Exhibition Center at the Kobe side of the bridge offers well-presented information about the bridge’s planning and construction, as well as other suspension bridges worldwide, although detailed explanations are available only in Japanese.
• Kitano Ijinkan-gai - Kitano-cho (北野町, Kitanochō) is a city district at the base of the Rokko mountain range where many foreign merchants and diplomats settled after the Port of Kobe opened to foreign trade in the late 19th century. More than a dozen of the former mansions, known as Ijinkan, remain in the area and are open to the public as museums. Most houses charge an admission fee between 550 to 750 yen, with combination tickets available for multiple houses. The entire district is delightful to explore, offering a variety of cafes, restaurants, and boutiques, making it a favorite among young Japanese couples.
