A lot of people went to Japan during the Easter holiday 🇯🇵, so I’d like to take this opportunity to continue reviewing my trip to Japan in March. I mentioned before that the first stop was Ikuta Shrine⛩️. After visiting Ikuta Shrine, I had sukiyaki lunch at Yakiniku Shibushiya near Sannomiya Station.
After lunch, we headed to Kobe Nunobiki Herb Garden. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the restaurant to the cable car station of the vanilla garden. The day before departure, I bought a round-trip cable car ticket + admission ticket from Klook for only $84/person. I don’t know if there weren’t too many people on the day I went, so I didn’t have to share with strangers, so I could take photos freely in the car 📷. The weather was very good, with blue sky and white clouds. The cable car 🚡 went all the way up the mountain. Looking back, you could see the whole city of Kobe without having to go to the faraway Mount Maya. It’s divided into 2 stops, and when you reach the final stop, there’s a small square. There is a shop there that sells some herb products and Kobe specialties. In addition to the store, there is also a scent museum where you can learn about the perfume extraction process and smell a variety of essential oils.
After visiting the top of the mountain, head towards the foot of the mountain. Along the way, we passed by fairy-tale cottages and cherry blossom trees. We visited the glass house near the middle station. The interior was beautifully decorated with flowers, and there was also a vanilla house and a statue of love. Passing through the glass house, there is a vanilla foot bath and a wishing bell.
After the visit, we went to the middle station and took the cable car back to the foot of the mountain. Personally, I think this herb garden is not expensive, there is a lot to see, and it is worth a visit.
