What other travelers are saying about Kobe Port Tower
Hadn't been here in 15 years. It's changed a little bit, including an admission fee to visit anywhere in the tower. (The cafe used to be free to visit). Still worth the price of admission. The views are great, you can see the harbor, Mosaic, Merikan park, and the Kobe city skyline. They had an art exhibit on two of the floors while we were there, including interactive art exhibits and motion capture art. The cafe is also very cool, though a bit overpriced. The cafe slowly rotates around the entire tower, so as you enjoy your drink you can get a 360° view from the tower without ever leaving your seat. Pretty neat experience.
One of the good location in Kobe, Japan. I was skeptical about this place because it is afternoon and weather in the seaside could have been warmer.
But I was surprised by the weather. I could walk from my hotel to the tower and enjoy the atmosphere.
It was really nice atmosphere and I really appreciate Kobe, Japan city council and Japan government of keeping this area clean, vibrant and people friendly.
Facility is very nice and ample place for people to sit, move around and good eating joints etc.
I was also fortunate to witness the remote car races happening on other side of the tower
I love Kobe!
The locals greet everyone warmly, and the environment stays clean all the time. Nature feels fresh and looks stunning. The food tastes amazing, and tourists enjoy plenty of fun activities.
I will definitely come back!
Gorgeous at night for sure!!!
Friendly staff and great views from atop.
No wait and not crowded at the observation deck.
I also participated in the All Japan Towers stamp rally.
Impressive building in itself and a good way to instil some perspective of the sheer size of the city of Kobe.
We bought tickets for the rooftop, which, in my view is a must if you have anything above decent weather.
The views of the mountains and the water are truly breathtaking and well worth the climb.
Also, as you climb back down, you'll find a fantastic set of interactive media rooms, a good café, a lovely souvenir shop up at the tower and very good crafts at the ground floor.
An absolute must visit if you have some time to walk around.
