To celebrate the brilliant colors of fall, the Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens are hosting their Autumn Garden Fest from early November until December 5th. The garden grounds are home to a myriad of seasonal wonders to enjoy, from maple and gingko trees to kochia bushes, cosmos flower fields, and shimmering pampas grass ‒ and that's not even a comprehensive list.
Because of the park's location, guests can also enjoy some fantastic views out over the city while enjoying the foliage.
Admission to the gardens is priced at 1,500 yen for adults, 750 yen for elementary and junior high aged students, and free for those below elementary school age.
Getting there
The Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens can be accessed via the Shin-Kobe Ropeway, which is located a short distance from Shin-Kobe Station.
For those who opt to drive, do note that there is no dedicated parking lot on-site. Visitors are advised to park at the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Kobe or other parking lots in the surrounding area.
