Take a train a short distance to the start of our walk, midway between Osaka and Kobe. Coming from Kyoto? I'll meet you partway. Walk alongside a flowing river and take in the cherry blossomsーa truly unforgettable life experience. The sakura (Cherry Trees), which line the river's banks, stand out beautifully against the clean, flowing water thanks to the gentle pink petals on their petals. Much of the river is lined with large evergreen trees, shadowing the path. (This can also be an excellent, cooling summer walk. Contact me to modify it just for your group!) For visitors wishing to experience real Japan, walking along the riverfront with the locals is great. As we travel along the river, remember to periodically pause to just take in the delicate beauty of the area; it will undoubtedly be a wonderful memory. Visit the Otani Memorial Art Museum with its famous Japanese garden & sculptures (closed Wednesdays=let's have coffee and nice cake instead)
My tours DO NOT have a fixed Itinerary. Please read my profile. I can't exactly help being a bit of a showman during my tours, and I will talk a bit about myself and my background. I enjoy meeting people from all places and of all races. I support Ukraine. LGBTQ+ friendly! -Meet at agreed Meeting Point -Take train a short distance to the start of our walk -Stroll the riverfront appreciating the quiet, calm beauty of the natural area (and cherry blossoms, in season) -Walk through the cooling shade of venerable old pine trees -Stop at shops on the way for drinks, snacks or lunch (Perhaps Japanese traditional sweets?) -Visit Otani Memorial Art Museum (Closed Wednesdays!) -Return to the meeting location via a different train line Activities may vary by day/time (e. g. museums usually close on Mondays, many shops close at ~19:00) Unlisted 'bonus' activities added as time permits. All times approximate. This tour may be further customized! Please message me.

Take a train together from the meeting place to the walk starting place. Walking through small streets lined with shops, restaurants... and lots of people on the weekend. Then the river walk itself is mostly on a wide dirt-and-rock path. Please don't wear heels or you'll regret it! Kids may GET WET in the river, intentionally or otherwise. Walking tour. Anywhere from 6-12 km of walking (4-8 miles-ish) in total. Mostly on the roadway, but the roadway edges can be rough in places. Also may be train, subway, bus. Wear cool clothing in summer, warm in winter. Bring umbrella/raincoat/ overcoat/gloves/ sunscreen/ hat/drinks, etc. Please prepare for the weather!
Kobe, Hyogo, 651-0097 Japan
If coming to Kobe/Osaka by ship, I can easily find out where your ship actually arrives, and meet the group there. (Note: some ships tell you "Osaka" when it's actually Port of Kobe. Please tell me the ship name.) I might be able to meet at your hotel, or you might have a better idea where to meet.
