Escape the city on a 400m-high mountain ridge, with sweeping views across town to the bay. Access is via ropeway (cable car) departing from near Shin-Kōbe Station. Some twee shops and restaurants near the top station mark the entrance to the Herb Gardens , and a paved path leads downhill past themed gardens to the ropeway's mid-station. Exiting the gardens, the trail continues downhill to Nunobiki Falls (about 30 minutes) and Shin-Kōbe Station.
