We’re in Kobe, Japan, and we’re about to take a ride on the Shin-Kobe Ropeway!

The Shin-Kōbe Ropeway is a Japanese aerial lift line operated by Kōbe City Urban Development.

Opened in 1991, the line links Shin-Kōbe Station and Nunobiki Herb Garden. See a complete tour of the gardens at the link above or below.

Extensive hiking trails and the option of a one-way fare allow fitness-minded visitors to ride the gondola to the top and hike their way down. Or, if visitors are feeling particularly adventurous that day, they are able to hike up and down the trails and skip the ropeway altogether. That hike would take more than two hours, round-trip, with no stops. But, believe me—- you’ll want to stop and admire the beautiful gardens!

A daytime, round-trip ticket is 1,800 yen for adults and a one-way ticket is 1,300 yen. Fares are cheaper after 5 p.m.

After ascending 330m vertically over 1,500m of ropeway, visitors arrive at a Bavarian-themed village and Japanese-style garden.

The garden was built in 1991 and features over 75-thousand herbs (200 varieties), plus greenhouses, a restaurant and cafe, museums, exhibits and gift shops.

There are 12 extensive garden areas where visitors are welcomed by seasonal herbs and flowers arranged according to different themes. The picturesque paths follow the flowerbeds resting on the side of the hill, overflowing with the color and fragrance of that particular season.

The Mid-Station actually marks the bottom of the gardens. Visitors could disembark here to begin an ascent to the top.

This is the Flower Garden and Recreation Area.

That’s the Glasshouse where you’ll also find the Herbal House and Spice Museum.

Once visitors disembark at the top, they are essentially dropped off in a serene Japanese-style garden built in an European-themed village. For international visitors, it may seem a little strange to see Bavarian-style buildings in the middle of Japan.

However, it’s important to remember that Kobe was one of the first entry points for Westerners in the 1800s. As a result, the City has a fine collection of ijinkan, or foreigners’ homes, where they’ve become popular attractions for domestic tourists. In fact, a popular saying amongst locals is, “If you can’t go to Paris, go to Kobe!” 

The Shin-Kōbe Ropeway and Nunobiki Herb Garden were two of our most memorable highlights from our trip to Japan. Be sure to put it on your to-do list if you’re anywhere near Kobe.
