    The vibe of Kobe is just wonderful. You will have free breakfast every morning. Even if you don't know how to make rice ball yourself, don't worry! There is always a staff there to teach you. The room was very quiet and people are friendly.

    The area is really close to Nunobiki Herb Garden. The bed was super comfy, and the place was very clean. The onigiri-making activity was really fun too! xD

    Good location. Very quiet and clean. Friendly staff. Free onigiri breakfast which was quite fun. Most amenities available. Like that you could change towels and toothbrushes if needed. :)

    The staff was really great and the location perfect for the Nunobiki waterfalls and hiking further. The self-made Onigiri as part of your breakfast is definitely a highlight!
