MK Guide Recommends
Towering above Kobe’s northern edge, Mount Rokkō is the city’s alpine lung and leisure zone—offering cool air, sweeping vistas, and enough attractions to fill a day or more. Easily reached by the Rokkō Cable Car or from Arima Onsen, the mountain is home to an observatory deck famed for its “million-dollar night view,” plus a botanical garden, pastureland, museums, hiking trails, and winter sports facilities. Rokkō also hosts quirky architectural stops like the Rokko Shidare Observatory and seasonal light installations. Whether you're sipping coffee with a harbor view, wandering a field of hydrangeas, or sledding down artificial snow, Mount Rokkō is where Kobe stretches its legs—and invites you to do the same.
