The Keage Inclined Railway, once an important transportation facility connecting the Biwa Lake canal with the Kyoto city canals, is approximately 582 meters long and was used to move boats up and down the slope. It is now a historical site. In spring, the cherry blossoms lining both sides bloom, creating a pink sea of flowers against the backdrop of the old railway tracks, forming a truly poetic scene.
The Kyoto State Guest House is a national-level facility established by Japan to receive distinguished overseas guests, showcasing a perfect fusion of traditional Japanese architecture and modern craftsmanship. Designed with the concept of "Harmony," the interior displays exquisite craftsmanship in everything from the garden landscaping, wooden structures, and washi paper lanterns to lacquerware and gold leaf decorations. *Due to space limitations, children under elementary school age are not permitted at the Kyoto State Guest House. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The Kobe Concerto, a luxury cruise ship, is one of the most iconic luxury cruise lines in Kobe Port. (Entrance fees to attractions are not included in the itinerary, but booking assistance can be provided.) Renowned for its elegant voyages that combine gourmet cuisine with stunning sea views, the ship features exquisite restaurants and observation decks where passengers can enjoy live music and fine dining while gazing at the Kobe Port skyline, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, and the shimmering lights of the harbor.
Kobe Rinkai Land is the most representative seaside entertainment area in Kobe Port, integrating shopping, dining and leisure. Landmarks include the Ferris wheel and Kobe Port Tower, and at night, the lights illuminate the harbor, creating a romantic urban seascape.
