I love that Kobe is a city where mountains, ocean, and international culture come together. Having lived in Seattle, I find the sister-city connection between the two places fascinating! One of my favorite ways to enjoy Kobe is hiking on Mount Rokko, then soaking in the relaxing hot springs of Arima Onsen. Downtown, I love exploring Nankinmachi Chinatown and discovering stylish boutiques. I also have a deep knowledge of Kobe’s sake breweries and their history, as well as the fascinating foreign settlement houses in Kitano. Whether you're here for history, culture, or just great food, I’d love to show you around!

My reviews

    This was a great tour, a good way to explore Kobe! We were only 2 people in our group so Max our guide planned it on the fly and took us to different places. Max was very informative and helpful. Thank you!
