Kobe

This is the key to getting to Amanohashidate, and reservations are very convenient. However, the JR station staff didn't really help us reserve seats, telling us to reserve them ourselves at the machines. Was it because they were about to close for the day? The staff at Hakata Station would reserve seats for us up to six times, and in Osaka, they did take us to the machines to operate them ourselves.

My husband and I were interested in Christmas markets, so we visited without doing any research beforehand, but the view of Kobe from the ropeway was breathtaking. The herb garden was well-designed, making it easy to get around and giving us a taste of the European atmosphere. The Christmas market was small, but there was a wide selection of Christmas-related goods, and the food and drinks were delicious, so we were very satisfied.

This is a great way to get bus tickets. We stayed at the Grand chariot for one night, and bought this package. We were able to schedule the bus on the two separate days! // Know that you need to pick up the tickets at the train station, bus counter. In Osaka it is actually outside. // For Nijigen no Mori, Naruto will probably take an hour or two, you could do something else during that time like Dragon quest or Godzilla. Also after doing a park they normally give you a coupon you can use for a different park for 500 yen / person off!

After purchasing tickets through the platform, I went directly to the station to exchange them and reserve seats. The whole process was quite convenient and without any major problems. I would consider doing it again if needed in the future.

Communication was smooth, the driver was very nice, drove very smoothly, and the car was very clean.
