Maya, Rokkosan, Arima Onsen

Hello all!

I will visit Kobe. I want to explore Maya, Rokkosan, and Arima Onsen.

I want to take all the cable cars and ropeways.

But between sightseeing spots I want to walk.

Is it okay to do/normal to do?

I ask because every website I go to recommends driving or taking a bus.

Are the roads there not open to pedestrians?

Also if anyone has itineraries for this area, please send them!

You seem to have misjudged the distances these attractions are apart.

The linked map you provided, those attractions are spread out over 10-12 kilometrers.

The "map" you referenced is an illustration - not drawn to scale.
Use the DIRECTIONS tool of the google map, with walking option, to obtain the distance/terrain/time information.
Some roads are for motor vehicles only (toll roads and highways).
Google street view can show you how narrow the roads are.
I find most Japanese mountain roads to be too narrow for bicyclists and pedestrians, for my own judgment.

As others have said, the attractions up in the two mountains can be quite far apart, which is why there are shuttle bus services to connect you between the attractions.
