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)
Here’s the view from the top of the mountain:
Not a bad view – considering that it is in the middle of summer and most Japanese cities are covered with smog!
Here are a few pictures from the garden:
It was a scorching hot summer day. I’m sure that the garden is much nicer in the spring. If I have the chance, I’d like to visit again in the spring.
