Last time I went there, the weather was very good, and I was lucky enough to have a variety of small flower gardens along the way, and I was very happy to have a small garden at the top of the hill, so I could sunbathe and eat snacks and look down on the mountains and flowers.
It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the Inhabitant Street, so you can tour together. If you have taken a discount coupon at the tourist center at Kazami Chicken House, you can get a discount here ~ 1400 yen for a round trip cable car after the discount. Take the cable car to the top, walk all the way to the middle, and then take the cable car back to the starting position. There is also a small hot spring where you can soak your feet in the greenhouse at the top of the mountain, and it’s okay if you don’t have a towel, 100 yen a piece, soak and wipe your feet. The greenhouse is not as big as the Shanghai Tatsuyama Botanical Garden ~ the whole garden area is large enough. There are a lot of flowers and spices along the way, but unfortunately it is the end of November, there are no flowers. Spring and autumn must be very beautiful.
In February, there were no flowers outdoors, but there was a large greenhouse, which had many blooming flowers. There is also an outdoor hot spring footbath on the hill, where you can soak your feet while watching the scenery.
When you come down from Shin-Kobe Station, you can take the Kobe Cable Car out of the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel and go directly to the Eika Meadow Station. The scenery on the way is awesome, you can see the whole Kobe port.
It’s a fun place where herbs are planted along the hillside, and the cable car goes up the hill to see the whole Kobe port. There are many plants, and they are always being replaced, so it’s good to take the elderly and children for a walk. There are also foot baths in the mountain, so you can soak and watch the scenery. There is a 500 yen egg cone on the cable car, which is very delicious.
