Kobe Cruise Reviews

We had shore excusions thru NCL. Highlights of Kyoto and another one HIghlights of Osaka. In both instances very long drives and what we saw was temples and shrines which seemed like a waste of time. Where are the Highlights? ...

Ok - but a bit much emphasis on the religious side for my tastes. ...

Must see is the Nunobiki Falls. If the herb garden is not what you need to see, great option is take ropeway to midstation (1/2 price) and walk down the hiking trail. Great view and lots of photo ops along the trail. ...

Short stay in port. Free bus transfer to the centre of town. Lovely afternoon shopping. ...

Good transport system , easy to get to the tourist sites. Meriken Park and China Town were easy to find ...

Take the subway and go to the Nunobiki ropeway and herb gardens. Good views of the city. Walk down to middle station and admire the beautiful gardens and glasshouses on your way down near the port: Meriken park and area dedicated to the earthquake ...

Good tour which took us back to our favorite city in Japan, Kyoto. We also tried Kobe beef in Kobe. ...

Got caught with rail being slow from Kyoto to port. Port agent did an excellent job of helping us to get back. ...

There is not so much to ein Kobe itself, you can easily walk through the city and you should for sure have some Kobe Beef. From Kobe you can do excursions by train to Osaka or to Kyoto. Train System is very efficient in Japan, and it is pretty easy to find your way and to buy tickets at the ticket machine. There is always somewhere a plan in English, look for the station number where you want to ...
