    Hyougo Pref. Koubeshi Nada-ku Rokkousanchou Kitarokkou 4512-336
    This ropeway in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture whisks you between Arima Onsen Station and Rokko Sancho Station in about 12 minutes. In the spring, scenery of fresh green and flowering trees and bushes like mountain cherries, magnolias, and azaleas spreads below you, and in summer you can enjoy the trilling of insects and the night view. The colored leaves across the mountainside are gorgeous in autumn, and in wintertime you can take in the glistening snowscape. There are a variety of tourist facilities right near Rokko Sancho Station, including Rokko Garden Terrace, Field Athletics, and Country House.

    A lovely break from the busy city below. The staff were very friendly, the facilities were clean, the exhibitions were quite interesting and the coffee and cake rather nice.

    "A Ferris wheel located in the Awaji Service Area on the Kobe-Awaji-Naruto Expressway. 65-meter tall, riders can enjoy a journey through the sky that takes 15 minutes per revolution and enjoy a sweeping view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and Kobe Airport from 135 meters above sea level. The Ferris wheel has 40 gondolas for six person equipped with air conditioning. In the ""see through"" gondolas, the seats, floor, walls, and everything else are transparent, and riders can take in 360 degree panoramic scenery. The pet gondolas are equipped with a small breed dog sized bed on the seat and allow riders to board with their beloved pet to enjoy the view together."

    平日だったので並ぶことも無く乗れました。観覧車は有料(@600円)ですが、15分間たっぷり景観を楽しめました。

Hyogo Areas

around-area-map

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
