At first glance Kobe is all about the shrines, historic landmarks and beautiful scenery but look a little deeper and you will find a city bursting with adventure- the kind that your whole family will love because let's be honest, what kids find fun is very different to what the adults like to do. You'll join one of our friendly hosts, who will make sure you can get on with the important business of enjoying yourself, while they plan your family’s day in Kobe. Think neon lights, arcade games, cable cars and exotic animals. All you need to do is let us know what your family’s style is, and we’ll do the rest. You could explore some of the main attractions, riding a cable car up Mount Rokko then venturing beyond the hills to the delightful Arima Onsen hot springs. You could always visit the Oji Zoo, where you can marvel at the pink elephants and penguins, or make a beeline for Umie and Harborland, a massive entertainment area where artisan shops line spacious al fresco shopping streets and the kids can have an absolute blast at the Sega video game arcade. When tummies start to rumble why not trade in the traditional restaurants for something a little different. An “owl café” where real owls sit on perches perhaps, As you can see, there are tonnes of family-friendly activities in Kobe and with your host by your side there are tonnes of good memories waiting to be made.
