Pickup points and meeting tips
- Oji-Koen Station (Hankyu) is next to Kobe Oji Zoo.
- JR Rokkomichi Station and Hankyu Rokko Station are meeting points for groups heading up the mountain.
- For sake brewery visits, agree a pickup at the brewery's parking area.
- Kobe University's main campus is on the Rokko foothills; name the faculty building or gate.
Vehicle access
Waterfront and main roads are coach-friendly, but residential slopes toward Rokko are steep and narrow. The Rokko mountain roads involve tight bends where smaller vehicles are often more suitable.
Some hill roads limit coach access.
Luggage
Brewery shoppers may return with bottles; pack them in the hold or protected cabin space to avoid breakage.
