Private Kobe Tour for Families with a Local, 100% Personalized
Family fun awaits you in Kobe, you just need to know where to look. You'll join one of our friendly hosts who will plan your family’s day in the city so you can get down to having fun! Think neon lights, arcade games, cable cars and exotic animals. Ride a cable car up Mount Rokko, venture to the delightful Arima Onsen hot springs, or visit the Oji Zoo or Sega game arcade at Umie. When tummies start to rumble, why not trade in the traditional restaurants for an "owl café" where real owls sit on perches. Adventure awaits! After booking, you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host who will suggest the perfect itinerary to discover Kobe your way!
