Highlights
Please note that even if you select “Tour Language: English(written),” the driver speaks Japanese only. Communication will be supported using a translation app, and English tour information will be provided in advance. This 8-hour private taxi tour is designed for travelers who want to experience Kyoto’s classic highlights comfortably from Kobe Port. You will visit Kiyomizu-dera, Kinkaku-ji, and Arashiyama, then return to Kobe Port. The tour combines Kyoto’s most iconic temple scenery, traditional city views, and a beautiful natural district in one day. Please note that traffic between Kobe and Kyoto can be heavy, especially on weekends, public holidays, and during cherry blossom or autumn foliage seasons, so the schedule may feel tight within 8 hours.

About Kobe
Kobe is a port city on Osaka Bay, set between the sea and the Rokko mountains, known for its beef, foreign-style hillside houses and hot springs.
Kobe is a long, narrow city squeezed between Osaka Bay and the Rokko Mountains, which rise steeply behind it. It opened as a treaty port in 1868, and its foreign merchants left a hillside district, Kitano, of European-style mansions, churches and cafés. Nankinmachi is a compact Chinatown. At the harbour, the red Port Tower and the Meriken Park waterfront look out over the bay.
Top-ranked sights in Kobe: Kobe Harborland, Kobe Port Tower, Kobe Maritime Museum.
