Overview

Experience Kobe like never before—under the magic of moonlight, neon signs, and city stories.

You’ll explore ancient shrines glowing at dusk, feast on street food in vibrant Chinatown—including a sizzling bite of real Kobe beef—and stroll along the beautifully lit waterfront with a magnificent night light to end your day.

From spiritual spots to street snacks, earthquake stories to Gaslight Street charm, this tour is all about experiencing the heart of Kobe—after dark, when it truly comes alive.

We’ll wrap up the night like locals do, with a drink at a cozy izakaya to toast new friends and unforgettable views. (optional)
