MK Guide Recommends

Nunobiki Falls proves Kobe is not all about cosmopolitan charm. Ranked among Japan’s 100 best waterfalls, it sits just a 20-minute hike on a well-maintained path from Shin Kobe Station, nothing grueling. Nunobiki Falls consists of four cascades, Ontaki, Mentaki, Meotodaki, and Tsutsumigadaki, with Ontaki standing as the most famous, dropping 43 meters with an unmistakable presence. This offers a pleasant break into nature without going full survival mode, off the grid and remote. Pack a bento like the locals, breathe, disconnect from your pocket black mirror, and take in the God-given landscape before stepping back into the rhythm of the city.
