Description

From Kobe Port your host could lead the way to Sannomiya, the center of Kobe’s youth culture, or a little more inland to retro Shinkaichi’s quirky shopping areas and quaint cafes. You could discover Nankinmachi (Kobe’s Chinatown), barbecue your own Kobe beef, or pray for love at the 3rd-century Ikuta Shrine. The city’s natural beauty isn’t hard to find – at the famous Rokko mountain range you could hike pristine forest trails, soak in the Arima hot springs, or take the Rokko cable car to the summit for views all the way to Osaka!  Within 24 hours 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. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Nice guide but not...

Nice guide but not an impressive tour. People were constantly asking what else do you want to see while it is an unknown city for us and we had just taken a guide to show us around

Operator response

Hello Caroline, I understand how disappointing it must have been to feel unsure about what to see when you were hoping for your host’s guidance. I’m sorry the experience didn’t offer the confident direction you expected. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re reinforcing with our hosts the importance of proactive planning especially for guests new to a city. We’d love another opportunity to show you a thoughtfully curated experience next time. Warm regards, Sheenah and the City Unscripted team.

A Five Star day in Kobe!

Silva is an exceptional guide and gave us a full experience of Kobe and the six of us achieved everything we asked for. We had a real mix of activities including a trip to the 2nd largest suspension bridge in the world! The tour was amazing and that night we sailed under it on our way to the next destination. Thank you for a fantastic day Silva, and he also took some super photos of the group as an added bonus!

Operator response

Exploring the city, visiting the world’s second-largest suspension bridge, and then sailing beneath it in the evening sounds like a truly unforgettable day! And how wonderful that Silva was able to capture some great moments for you all along the way—memories to treasure. Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your incredible experience in Kobe.

Excellent Tour! We had. Fantastic day at Kobe. Our tour guide “Silva” was great. We looked at all sites in Kobe and enjoyed authentic Kobe beef! It was lot of fun! Having a good tour guide makes a bug difference!
