Kobe
Take a stroll along the sea on the Kobe Bay Cruise
A leisurely cruise through the sparkling waters of Kobe is a special time to rediscover the charm of the city. From the bay area shining against the blue sky, to the port scenery bathed in the setting sun, to the illuminated night view - the ever-changing scenery of Kobe will make your heart leap. Set sail on a cruise aboard two ships with different personalities: the gorgeous Atakemaru and the elegant Royal Princess.
The Atakemaru, which was built based on the Tokugawa Shogunate's royal ship, is a beautiful Japanese ship decorated with gold leaf and wood carvings. The interior of the ship is decorated with shoji-style designs, coffered ceilings, curtains and noren curtains, giving you the feeling of having traveled back in time to the world of a period picture scroll. The deck is also a popular photo spot.
