880m Up: Breathtaking Views of Awaji Island, Osaka, and Wakayama
Rokko Garden Terrace offers three restaurants and two shops in a delightfully international setting.
Always lively and bustling, this is the ideal place to get your fill of seasonal delights and do your souvenir shopping.
The Rokko-Shidare Observatory is a true local monument, incorporating the mountaintop views, art, and nature in a bold statement. Designed to resemble the billowing form of a “weeping” tree, the Rokko-Shidare Observatory combines with the observation deck of a nearby shop to offer spectacular views stretching as far as the Akashi Strait, the Osaka Plain, Kansai International Airport, and beyond. The “million dollar” nightscape is a must-see attraction.
Rokko View Palace is a spacious restaurant offering crowd-pleasers like Japanese curry rice and hamburg steaks while you gaze at the views from the panorama windows.
Meanwhile, the Souvenir Shop is stocked with large array of gift ideas in a spacious store, including Mt. Rokko Cheesecake made with locally-produced milk, a variety of original Mt. Rokko goods, and many others from throughout Kobe and Hyogo Prefecture.
Do not miss the wildly popular soft-serve ice cream at the takeout counter!
