Kobe The Charming City – RY Marketplace
Kobe Beef
Nunobiki Waterfall
China Town
Earthquake Memorial Park
Description
Although many hear of Kobe, just for the “Kobe Beef”! Among the Japanese, Kobe is recognized as a resilient city, which knew how to rebuild itself after the tragedy of the earthquake that occurred in 1995, completely destroying the city. Because of this too, the city is a reference in what can be called new, charming and modern. But still keeping the memories of a city that was once the entry and exit gate of Japan. We will explore the nature that surrounds the city with its 6 mountains, passing through neighborhoods influenced by European and Asian culture. And for sure, let’s find out what’s so tasty about Kobe Beef.

If you’re in a city but not traveling with a program, we recommend reaching out to the City Manager on the Hub to confirm before booking.
