What other travelers are saying about Kobe Cruise Concerto
Had teppanyaki course (5pm session).
Food: it was my first time trying Kobe beef and it was melting.
Service: they didn’t bring the ordered drinks, until they were reminded. The drinks menu is overpriced.
Atmosphere: the chef cooked and served within 30 min, after that he leaves. There was no live music, no additional entertainment, unfortunately.

The evening cruise was just lovely. Had a great time. The city lights on the evening cruise is something I whole heartedly recommend. Food was good along with professional photographers going around to snap your photos (for a few of course). I did the iron chef and it broke down to about 95 bucks a person. Not bad for a cruise and delicious dinner.
You can board the ship without ordering the food here. Free view on third floor outside deck and inside cafe aquamarine (you can sit down without ordering the food or drink).
Beside that on first floor on lobby behind piano is also free view.
There is also music and song perfomed by local musician inside the ship
View is ok at night if you want romantic experience but in my opinion if you want to aee scenery better at day. Great experience and view for 2 hours long. Very recommended.
A cruise to see beautiful Kobe. We went for the tea cruise and it was amazing. The tart served was delicious. The view from the cruise is breathtaking.
We were lucky to get inside the cockpit and learn about the ship control. The staffs are very polite.
