[Navito recommend] 1N2D-2N3D Kobe tour

Why Kobe is a must visit for Muslims.

Kobe has been one of the most famous Japanese cities for foreigners. This is probably due to its renowned Kobe beef and its history as one of the first ports opened to international trade. However, for Muslims, it is also important to mention that the first mosque in Japan was built over 90 years ago in this city.

Although access to both Osaka and Himeji is quite convenient, Kobe is not often chosen as a destination to stay—something we would like to change!

In cooperation with the Kobe Tourism Bureau and Navito from Halal Navi, we are excited to announce that we are now working together to promote our Kobe tour at a very reasonable price!

Reasons why you have to stay in Kobe.

Many foreigners choose Osaka for their hotel, but we have many reasons why travelers (especially Muslims) should choose to stay in Kobe.

1. Easy access to the city
2. A wide range of restaurants and hotels—cheaper and more convenient
3. A variety of tourist attractions, including hot springs, nature, and cultural heritage

  1. Easy access to the city
    If you are coming from Osaka, you will be surprised at how close Kobe is. It takes only about 25 minutes by JR rapid train, costing 320 yen.
There are numerous public transportation options between Kansai International Airport, Itami (Osaka Airport), and even Kobe Airport.

    The Shinkansen station is just 2 minutes away from the city center by metro.
Additionally, the city is conveniently located for visits to Kyoto and Himeji, both considered cultural hubs of Japan. By staying in Kobe, you can easily visit these cities without the hassle of changing hotels.
  2. A wide range of restaurants and hotels—cheaper and more convenient
    Many foreign tourists choose to stay in Osaka, but this makes it harder for travelers to find less-crowded, higher-quality hotels at a reasonable price. By staying at Kobe, this is not the case anymore!


    For Muslim travelers, it is also important to note that Kobe has mosques and Halal restaurants in the city center, and all of them are within walking distance.
  3. A variety of tourist attractions, including hot springs, nature, and cultural heritage
    Kobe is a city full of tourist attractions. The city is famous for its international atmosphere, which is why both Western and Asian cultures coexist here.

    
Arima Onsen, one of Japan’s three oldest hot springs, is known as one of the most luxurious hot spring destinations in the country. Located just 30 minutes away from the city, it ensures an unforgettable Japanese getaway experience.
