What other travelers are saying about Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens & Ropeway
What a beautiful place. Its clean and very well operated.
Catch the cable car up to the top and see the best view you will get of Kobe.
Once your at the top, there are some rose gardens.
The journey back down the mountain by foot takes you through beautiful tranquil gardens of every sort.
This is a lovely way to escape the busy city and enjoy the gardens, the birds, the many bees and butterflies.
You can stop along the way and rest in hammocks, look at a waterfall, enjoy an ice cream and just take in all the beautiful sounds and fragrances.
This is a real gift to this city.
The path down the mountain can be steep in some places. This is not suitable for people in wheelchairs or have difficulty walking down slopes.
A MUST VISIT attraction for travellers near Osaka espacially elderly, or couple. Cable car provided one-way or both. I spent half day with my sister there during May which is still nice breathe even if most of the rose and hydreangea were still buds but many other species are also gorgeous. We can see 2 waterfalls during the back walking route. Prepare firm comfy walking/hiking shoes if you wanna choose to walk down the hill like us. This place were a chef kiss of our trip... you can not be disappoint. TOTALLY BEAUTIFULL!
An absolutely wonderful way to spend a day.
I highly recommend taking the cable car (ONE WAY ONLY) UP to the TOP (Note: there’s a stop half-way up) and taking your time (2+ hrs) to meander down (steps or slope) through the wonderful gardens and structures (and a splendid waterfall) to the base. Oh - and there are many trees and shrubs (+ vegetable gardens, worthy of note).
A very memorable day.
PS. There’s a really nice ‘not to be missed’ (fancy wancy) restaurant at the top of the hill + some rather interesting stores that even have lots of fragrant products made from a number of the herbs and spices that they grow. (I even bought a ‘neck pillow’ with a lemongrass aroma and a bottle of lemongrass fragrance to ‘freshen it up’ after multiple uses).
Absolutely breathtaking landscape. The place is properly planned and maintained. There's just a convenient ice cream store around the corner when you make your way around.
Recommended to take the properly all the way up first then walk to the middle station and come down back.
You can spend 3 to 4 hours to fully take in the scenery.
A highlight of our time in Kobe.
Easy to find from the subway station.
We had not bought tickets in advance and easy to buy on the day.
Great view from the ropeway (cable car as we know them 🚠) up to the top. Not everything was in bloom this early, but still some colour and lots to see and learn about.
The Veranda restaurant was stunning. Amazing strawberry delicacies and an impressive tea selection. Excellent service too.
We slowly wandered down the hill and caught the cable car the rest of the way down.
Highly recommended
