This half-day tour takes you to the outskirts of Kobe to scenic Mt. Rokko, for stunning views of Osaka Bay. You’ll also visit the Sake Brewery Museum, to learn about the tradition of sake making, which has been carried down through the ages.


Opened to the public by Arthur Groom in 1901, Mt. Rokko quickly became a popular retreat for foreigners. Today, Mt. Rokko is the centerpiece of a popular sightseeing and hiking area stretching over six miles. With an elevation of 3,000 feet, it is the highest peak in the mountain range that spreads 19 miles from the northeast to southwest.


A scenic drive takes you to Mt. Rokko, where you'll reach the observatory at the summit via a funicular. From this vantage point, enjoy stunning views of Osaka Bay and the distant Awaji Island in the easternmost part of the Inland Sea.


Departing Mt. Rokko, drive to the Sake Brewery Museum. Designated an Important Tangible National Cultural Property, the museum was opened in 1978 on the site of an old brewery. Known for growing the best rice for sake production and its pure underground water, the region manufactures some of the most famous brands of sake in Japan. This old warehouse, converted to a museum, offers a realistic atmosphere. You'll learn about the different stages and methods of the sake production. In the tasting area, you can try freshly pressed, unpasteurized sake, which cannot be found anywhere else. You can find Hakutsuru Sake products as well as original museum goods in their shop.
