What other travelers are saying about Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens & Ropeway
You MUST come here if you want some nice shots for your profile pictures. The gardens were beautiful, and thank God we came at the right timing where the sun was setting. A good time to be here will be a sunny day 3:30pm - 5pm JP Time, because their last cable car ride is at 5:15pm to head back down. They have a Bottom Garden, Middle Garden, and Top Garden. The cable-car roundtrip ride costs 2000¥ very worth it. The ride had an amazing view too!
This was my favorite part of Kobe. Beautiful ropeway ride up the mountain, only took a few minutes. Beautiful stroll from the top to midway down the mountain, then we took the ropeway back. They had a fun stamp activity booklet for my kids to do. They also liked taking photos. Many places to sit and lots of hammocks to rest in. Lovely way to spend an afternoon
Highly recommend if you are in Osaka or Kyoto. Come to Kobe for a day trip and take this ropeway whose entrance is close to the Shin Kobe station. The ropeway gives a beautiful harbor view of Kobe, the Nunobiki falls and the dam. The view from the top of the garden is breathtaking. The herb garden itself is beautiful and well maintained. And you can walk down the garden exploring and relaxing. I took the round trip for the ropeway and took the return ropeway after exploring the garden. Note, you cannot visit the Nunobiki falls if you take the ropeway down. However, the return journey on foot takes two hours so better to keep that in mind. The garden has some small food and souvenir outlets as well.
Absolutely loved my visit to Kobe Nunobiki Herb Garden 🌿 The cable car ride up was beautiful, with amazing views of the city and mountains. The garden itself is so peaceful and well-maintained — everywhere you turn, there’s something new to see or smell. The seasonal flowers, herbs, and glasshouse were stunning, and the café had such a relaxing vibe with a great view. Perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nature. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Kobe!
beautiful.
we took the cable car all the way up.
the top has 2 eateries and both have amazing food & drinks selections.
in the interest of time (we arrived at 3pm and they close around 5 to 530pm), we had quick bites from the kiosk and took a steep walk down to the mid point cable car.
this walk was the main event of this place! down the walk, we saw beautiful flowers and vegetables planted. before reaching the mid point cable car, we enjoyed some time on the hammocks.
it's a beautiful garden nestled in the heart of the city ♡
