Mount Rokko (931 meters) is the highest peak in the Rokko mountain range, the mountain range which provides the pleasant green backdrop to the city of Kobe. Panoramic views of the heavily urbanized Hanshin region (Kobe and Osaka), can be enjoyed from the mountain and are particularly spectacular around sunset.
Various small tourist attractions can be found on Mount Rokko, including a botanical garden, a music box museum, a pasture with flowers and sheep, Japan's first golf course and Rokko Garden Terrace, a pleasant complex of a few restaurants and shops and an observation deck.
A circular bus line (running in clockwise direction only) connects the various attractions with the top stations of the Rokko Cablecar (to central Kobe) and the Rokko Arima Ropeway (to Arima Onsen).
