Mount Rokko (六甲山) towers above the city of Kobe with a summit of 931 meters, making it the the highest peak in the Rokko mountain range. As a result, it offers sweeping views of Kobe, Osaka and beyond, promising unforgettable views no matter what time you visit—though locals recommend visiting at sunset to watch Kobe light up as the sun goes down. This is especially true from Mt. Rokko & Shidare Observatory, a unique attraction that’s as eye-catching as the mountains themselves.
Mt. Rokko is also known for much more than hiking and views, as it boasts a botanical garden, a garden terrace, an athletic park, and even a complex with restaurants, shops and an observation deck.
