Enjoy breathtaking views and aromatic experiences at Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens, Japan’s largest herb garden, accessible via a scenic ropeway.
MK Guide Recommends
Kobe makes navigation easy, with the sea to the south and the mountains to the north. Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens and Ropeway offers one of the city’s most rewarding escapes to the northern slopes. Many travelers overlook it, but this expansive garden ranks among the largest in Japan, with 75,000 herbs and 200 varieties of flowers blooming throughout the year. The journey itself defines the experience. The ropeway climbs 400 meters up the mountainside, revealing a full panorama of Kobe’s cityscape, the harbor, and the distant sea. The view commands attention at any hour, but at nightfall the city becomes a field of light below. At the summit, hammocks, walking paths, and garden cafés invite you to slow down, rest, and take in the surroundings. This destination is a perfect addition to any Kansai itinerary and reveals a quieter side of Kobe that many visitors miss.
