Kobe herb garden

Floral Wonderland Above Kobe 🌸🌿🐾 Elevate your senses at the Kobe Nunobiki Ropeway—where sweeping city views meet lush flower gardens and a charming mini zoo, all in one unforgettable ride! Whether you’re a blossom lover or an animal enthusiast, this mountaintop escape is loaded with beauty and surprises. Start off with a scenic gondola ride from the base station in Chuo Ward. As you ascend, snap the “insta-worthy” panorama: Kobe skyline framed by vibrant gardens and cascading Nunobiki falls—best angle is midway up, looking back toward the harbor. At the top, linger in the Nunobiki Herb Garden, surrounded by endlessly photogenic beds of seasonal flowers. For unique floral portraits, try the terrace or glasshouse area, especially in spring and fall. Don’t miss the mini zoo: it’s tucked beside the garden and ideal for fun close-ups with small animals (kids will love this spot too!). On weekends or holidays (March–November), the ropeway runs until 20:15—aim for sunset rides for golden-hour cityscapes. Weekdays usually close earlier at 16:45, so plan ahead! Bring a water bottle and comfy shoes, as the paths wind through flower beds and gentle slopes. While the area is generally safe, note that weather can change quickly—an umbrella or lightweight raincoat is always handy. If you want a calming soak of colorful blooms and interactive animal moments, budget at least 2–3 hours here. #kobe #nunobikiropeway #flowergarden #minizoo #japantravel
