On the day after my birthday, we went sightseeing in Kobe. The first place we visited was Nunobiki Herb Garden. It is a 40-acre herb garden located on the top of Mount Rokko. It has more than 200 varieties of herbs. You can take a ski lift / ropeway or hike up the mountain from Kobe station to here. (Which did we do? Yep, we chose the quicker of the two)
