Overview

Begin your journey in comfort aboard a chartered coach, accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide who brings Kobe’s rich culture and history to life.

Your first stop is Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum, one of Japan’s most renowned sake producers. Here, you’ll explore traditional brewing methods, view historic equipment, and gain insight into the craftsmanship behind Japan’s iconic rice wine, with opportunities to sample authentic varieties.

Continue to the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Memorial Park, a moving tribute to the devastating 1995 earthquake. Through powerful exhibits and preserved remnants, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the disaster, the resilience of Kobe’s people, and the city’s remarkable recovery.

The tour then takes you into the vibrant heart of Kobe at Sannomiya Center Street, a bustling shopping district filled with boutiques, cafes, and local specialties. Enjoy free time to browse, shop, or simply soak in the lively urban atmosphere.

Next, immerse yourself in the colorful charm of Nankinmachi Chinatown, one of Japan’s most famous Chinatowns. Stroll through its lantern-lined streets, discover street food stalls, and experience a unique blend of Chinese and Japanese culture.

After a full day of exploration, relax as you are comfortably transferred back to the port, concluding a well-rounded tour that captures the spirit, history, and flavors of Kobe.
