MK Guide Recommends
Once the site of an imperial villa, Suma Rikyu Park is now one of Kobe’s most graceful public green spaces. Modeled after European palace gardens, the park unfolds in cascading tiers of formal lawns, tree-lined boulevards, and symmetrically placed fountains—all backdropped by Kobe’s mountains and a distant view of the sea. Seasonal highlights include a lush rose garden in spring, fiery maple groves in autumn, and plum blossoms in early spring. Quiet trails lead to hilltop viewpoints, while a small amusement area and play facilities make it family-friendly. It’s less crowded than central parks and ideal for an elegant pause between Kobe’s coast and hills.
