Hyogo in Half a Day: Nunobiki Herb Garden & Chinatown — Guide Yuki

What's a Private Walking Tour of Kobe Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were visiting Japan for the first time from Europe. They had expressed a wish to see cherry blossoms, so I guided them to Nunobiki Herb Garden. Some cherry blossoms were still in bloom, and many other flowers were in full bloom as well, so the guests, who love flowers, enjoyed it very much.

After hearing their wishes, we walked to Ikuta Shrine, passing through the Kitano Ijinkan foreign residences district and the town center. I explained how to worship at the shrine, and we paid our respects together.

We walked to Port Tower, visited Meriken Park and Memorial Park, then returned to Chinatown. I showed them the shuttle bus stop for the Port Terminal, and we parted ways there.

Since the guests were fond of golf, we talked about golf and looked at golf brand shops in town, and I believe they had an enjoyable time strolling around the city.

Tour Report by Yuki

I’m Yuki.
I am a National Government licensed guide interpreter.
I was born and grew up in Kobe city, Hyogo prefecture.
Kobe is one of the attractive cities in Japan to explore the Japanese history and modern city life.

Also, I have learned the way of tea for more than 15 years and Japanese flower arrangement which there are lots of things to learn more about Japanese history and traditions.

I like joining in the tea gathering, traveling, watching Noh performances and Gagaku performances (Japanese Imperial Court Music and Dance), visiting to temples (also as pilgrimage) and Japanese gardens and wearing Kimono (Japanese traditional clothes).

I would like to support your stay in Japan with its experiences including Japanese traditions and history.
I look forward to seeing you.
