The Christmas Market at Kobe Nunobiki Herb Garden is held from early November to December 25, themed "Botanical Christmas." Within the garden, a 25-meter-tall Metasequoia tree adorned with approximately 1,600 lights serves as the forest Christmas tree, which is illuminated in a magical display starting at 4:30 PM. Decorations made from natural materials, including projection mapping and corridors of light, create a warm and enchanting atmosphere both day and night 🎅🏼

At the Observation Plaza, visitors can enjoy a massive 3-meter-wide welcome wreath and a 6-meter-tall Christmas tower. The Christmas Market features authentic German-imported ornaments and advent calendars. The German festival offers European dishes such as mulled wine, herb sausages, and beef stew, perfect for warming up on chilly days 🎄

Additionally, the Glasshouse and The Veranda (terrace) near the mountain summit feature nighttime lighting effects during extended hours, creating a romantic ambiance alongside stunning night views. The illuminations visible from the ropeway are also exceptional, making this a popular destination for couples and families alike ☝🏻⭐️
