What other travelers are saying about Kobe Municipal Arboretum
Absolutely lovely botanical park and garden with long, winding paths through a diverse array of trees and greenery. Each visit reveals new seasonal wonders, from vibrant spring blooms (azaleas and cherry blossoms are breathtaking!) to fiery autumn foliage. A serene escape within Kobe, ideal for leisurely strolls, picnics, and nature photography. Extensive grounds offer various trails and hidden nooks for exploration. Don't miss the charming ponds, bridges, and occasional wildlife sightings. The arboretum is well-maintained with helpful signage and amenities (restrooms, vending machines). A must-visit for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility amidst the city buzz.
Indispensable place to enjoy Natural atmosphere is here deep into the Rokko Mountain Range, situating 10 km to the East from Kita-Suzuran-Dai St. As a matter for regret, not so convenient place for pedestriant as it is, some effort might be required to visit the Natural place.
You may kill at least half a day here, as a hiker, as a family and as a photographer including a bird watcher.
Restaulant supplies meals, drink machinery is prepared. Wheelchair users available.
Anyway, a best care might be taken while winding road driving not to cut in center line for safety.
It’s a bit hard and confusing to take the public transportation to this location but worth it. There also aren’t too many tourists and the park is huge with plenty of photo spots.
I visited on 22/11/2023. There is the free shuttle bus at Kitasuzurandai station. The bus was punctual, and it wasn't crowded. The natural surroundings and scenery were beautiful, offering a relaxing experience as I walked around and enjoyed the views.
