Activity itinerary

Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum

40m

Hakutsuru Sake Brewery is one of Japan’s most historic and renowned sake producers, founded in 1743 in Kobe. The brewery offers visitors a glimpse into the traditional sake-making process, from rice polishing to fermentation, along with guided tours of its facilities and tasting rooms. Its museum displays old brewing tools, historical artefacts, and sake bottles, making it both educational and immersive for anyone interested in Japanese culinary heritage. The modern tasting area allows visitors to sample a variety of premium sakes, including seasonal and limited editions.

Ikuta Shrine

40m

Ikuta Jinja is one of Kobe’s oldest Shinto shrines, believed to have been founded in the 3rd century, dedicated to Wakahirume-no-Mikoto, the goddess of weaving and life. Nestled in a serene urban setting, the shrine features a main hall, vibrant torii gates, and peaceful gardens, making it a spiritual oasis in the city. It is especially popular for wedding blessings, festivals, and New Year visits, and its tranquil atmosphere offers a quiet contrast to Kobe’s bustling streets.

Kobe Harborland

Kobe Harborland is a lively waterfront district in Kobe, combining shopping, dining, entertainment, and scenic views of the harbour. The area features modern complexes like Mosaic Mall, amusement facilities, and a picturesque promenade along the waterfront, perfect for strolls at sunset. At night, the district is beautifully illuminated, with the Kobe Port Tower and Ferris wheel creating a romantic skyline. Harborland blends urban energy with seaside charm, making it a favourite spot for both locals and tourists.

Himeji Castle

Himeji Castle , also known as the White Heron Castle, is one of Japan’s most spectacular and well-preserved castles. Famous for its brilliant white exterior, elegant architecture, and complex defensive design, it gives the impression of a bird taking flight. The castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, dates back to the early 17th century and features multiple layered walls, watchtowers, and a maze-like interior designed to confuse invaders. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, Himeji Castle is especially stunning during cherry blossom season, offering an iconic image of Japan’s feudal history.

Koko-en
