Providing ski-to-door access, a terrace and free WiFi, Rokko Outdoor Station FOTON is a recently renovated guest house 6.3 km from Mount Rokko and 7.8 km from Mount Maya. The property features mountain views and is 11 km from Arima Toys and Automata Museum and 11 km from Onsen-ji Temple. The accommodation provides luggage storage space and a shared lounge for guests.

We had the best time in this accomodation on Mt Rokko. Arriving by cable car was idyllic and easy to find from Kobe with the owners instructions. We absolutely loved the food! Actually, we would consider just coming back here to eat again. The owner is an amazing chef and cooked different foods for our stay. While my husband loved the Kobe beef, our teenage girls ate all the homecooked bread. My favourite was a delicious salad and grilled marinated japanese radish.. I still dream about them:-). The owners speak great english and was able to direct us well. We enjoyed an outing to Arima Onsen town from here by ropeway. Most likely our favourite stay in Japan!

Practically set just a 5-minute walk from JR Motomachi Station, Kobe Nadeshikoya offers an accommodation within Kobe Chinatown. Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Meriken Park and Port Tower are a 10-minute walk away.

I can 100% recommend this guesthouse if you're staying at Kobe for a couple of nights ! The staff was super nice to me, I went to an izakaya one night together with one of them. They also speak fluent english so if you don't speak japanese that's absolutely not a problem. I really enjoyed my stay !

Hostel Anchorage is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk away from Motomachi Station and about a 7-minute train ride and walk away from Sannomiya Station.

Private rooms come with a seating area while dormitory rooms are equipped with bunk beds. Bathroom facilities are shared and free amenities are provided. Guests can use the shared kitchen or relax in the common area on site.

It was a nice stay on a hostel / capsule. The bed / room is big enough to sit on. I still had privacy. It was near a market so everything is connected.

    Great hostel location right in China town and a walking distance from Sannomiya. Second time staying there as it’s great on a budget and for one night. Female only dorms offered so I felt safe. Clean toilets and showers. Mirror in the dorm area which is useful.

    Great breakfast.& Dinner experience. A good location once you sorted out transport to and from...The hotel really needs to give good directions from the JR station-the change of trains & how to get to hotel from the local train stop..as initially its all very complicated. The staff in the restaurant were superb, & the food was good! We met some locals in a lunchtime restaurant who told us about the famous castle in a town 20 mins away by train...this was worth the experience. Amazing!

    First of all the owner Sai is a great host and will help you with anything you need. She even took us to a hike in the mountains. The bar in the hostel is a great chillout place, you could also choose music if you like. Rooftop and big kitchen too. Also the location is near city center
