Cable Car Ride to a World of Herb Gardens

One of my favorite spots in Kobe is the Kobe Nunobiki Herb Garden, which is one of the largest herb gardens in Japan. Located on a hill 400 meters above Kobe City, you can take a cable car to reach it. Inside, there are various themed gardens, and you can even soak your feet and visit the perfume greenhouse to learn about the history of perfumes and sample different scents. When I visited in February, not all the flowers were in full bloom yet, but I still found the entire garden very pleasant to walk through, with a relaxing atmosphere. I imagine it would be even more stunning when all the flowers are in full bloom. Highly recommend this spot!
