Kobe’s breezy alpine escape—Mount Rokkō offers city-to-sea views, seasonal flower fields, and a full mountaintop playground in the clouds.
MK Guide Recommends
Towering above Kobe’s northern edge, Mount Rokkō is the city’s alpine lung and leisure zone—offering cool air, sweeping vistas, and enough attractions to fill a day or more. Easily reached by the Rokkō Cable Car or from Arima Onsen, the mountain is home to an observatory deck famed for its “million-dollar night view,” plus a botanical garden, pastureland, museums, hiking trails, and winter sports facilities. Rokkō also hosts quirky architectural stops like the Rokko Shidare Observatory and seasonal light installations. Whether you're sipping coffee with a harbor view, wandering a field of hydrangeas, or sledding down artificial snow, Mount Rokkō is where Kobe stretches its legs—and invites you to do the same.
