We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring the city of Kobe with our guide, Hiromi. From start to finish, she made the experience incredibly informative, engaging, and enjoyable. Her deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems truly enriched our visit, and she shared everything with such enthusiasm and warmth. Not only was she exceptionally well-prepared, but she also made us feel completely at ease, ensuring that we had a seamless and memorable experience. Her passion for guiding and her attention to detail were evident throughout the entire tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! If you’re planning a visit to Kobe, we highly recommend Hiromi—she will make your trip truly special. Thank you, Hiromi, for an unforgettable day

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!

Ask for the local experience. We skipped this history and temples since we’ve done so many this trip. Angelica took us to ma and pa shop to eat. We did the Photo Booth experience that girls like to do here. We ended the tour with a Kobe beef experience, pricey but very good and we were expecting it wasn’t going to be cheap.
