Get a stunning city view on the ropeway

The Kobe Nunobiki Ropeway is one of three services that transports visitors along the southern slopes of Kobe's neighboring Rokko mountain chain.

While scaling the mountainside on the ropeway, views of the stunning Nunobiki Waterfall unfold, making it a great way to take in the city's beauty. When the weather permits, you can see as far as the Seto Inland Sea and the western part of Osaka.

The Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens

Close to the top of the ropeway climb lies the entranceway to the Nunobiki Herb Garden, one of Japan's largest herb gardens. In addition to a vast collection of herbs and seasonal flowers, the garden is home to a glass house growing exotic fruits, like guava and banana, all year.

Trails around and stunning night views from the observation deck

There are a number of walking trails located by the ropeway, beginning at Shin-Kobe Station, so you can explore the area on foot.

Once you reach the top, be sure to visit the observation deck for some spectacular views of Kobe—this is one of the area's most popular nighttime viewing spots.
