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!

Enjoy Ropeway Adventure, Historic Streets and Waterfront Relaxation
Overview of your Kobe tour
This tour begins at Shin-Kobe Station (or Sannomiya Station). We take the ropeway to the mountaintop for panoramic views, then walk downhill through the Nunobiki Herb Gardens, with optional café stops along the way. Continuing through the mountains, we enjoy scenic views of the Nunobiki Reservoir and Nunobiki Waterfall. The walk back to Shin-Kobe takes about 1–2 hours and is mostly downhill, making it moderate and manageable for most guests. From Shin-Kobe, we walk through Kitano, a historic district known for its Western-style residences, before heading to Sannomiya. In Sannomiya, we enjoy a Kobe beef lunch. I will make the reservation in advance, and guests may choose their menu on the day. Lunch costs are paid individually. Afterward, we explore Sannomiya’s shopping streets, visit Nankinmachi (Chinatown), and relax in the seaside area of Meriken Park, Kobe Port Tower, and Harborland. We then walk to JR Kobe Station, where the tour concludes.
