This isn’t a scripted tour. You’ll explore Kobe alongside a local host matched to your interests. From historic neighborhoods and street food spots to peaceful gardens, your half-day experience is designed to give you an authentic feel for the city.


After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire so we can pair you with a like-minded host. They’ll reach out to suggest an itinerary and confirm the meeting point. The route remains flexible, allowing you to explore at your own pace and adjust as you go.
