Hello! My name is Kazue, and I would love to be your guide. I’m based in Kobe and enjoy guiding visitors around Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara. Whether you’d like to explore lively city areas, fun local spots, or cultural and historical sites, I can create a tour that fits your interests. I also enjoy chatting and sharing stories along the way. Before becoming a guide, I lived and worked in the United States, Australia, and Singapore for over 10 years and have traveled to 27 countries, which helps me connect easily with travelers from around the world. I’ve also been active on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook for many years, where I share my experiences and favorite places. Although I’m new on this platform, I’ve been working as a guide for over two years and have also led online tours in many places throughout Japan. If you’d like to make the most of your time in Japan—especially in the Kansai region—I’d be happy to guide you. Please feel free to contact me!

Overview of your Kobe tour

Discover the best of Kobe on this compact half-day walking tour, perfect for first-time visitors and travelers with limited time. We’ll meet at JR Sannomiya Station around noon and start with a delicious lunch featuring world-famous Kobe beef. After that, we’ll explore the lively Sannomiya Center Street, a popular local shopping arcade filled with fashion, snacks, and everyday city life. Next, we’ll stroll through Kobe Chinatown (Nankinmachi), one of Japan’s most vibrant Chinatowns, known for its colorful streets and street food. From there, we’ll head to the waterfront to visit Meriken Park and the iconic Kobe Port Tower. Our walk continues to Harborland, where you can enjoy the open seaside atmosphere, fresh sea breeze, and relaxing views of the harbor. The tour ends at JR Kobe Station, where I’ll see you off. This tour blends food, culture, shopping, and scenic waterfront views into one enjoyable half-day experience.

Meeting location

Kobe, Hyogo, Japan

JR Sannomiya Station has several exits, but please use the Central Gate. I will be waiting near the Central Gate ticket area, so let’s meet there. JR Sannomiya Station is the second largest station after Osaka. If you are coming from Osaka, take the Super Rapid train (called Shinkaisoku), which takes about 20 minutes. From JR Kyoto, the trip takes a little under one hour via Osaka by Super Rapid train.

  • You can request a different meeting location (for example, your hotel) during the checkout process.
