Kobe has the impression of being a ``stylish port town,'' but did you know that there are actually many spots that the whole family can enjoy together? For example, ``Kobe Harborland'' has the ``Mosaic Giant Ferris Wheel'' and ``Kobe Anpanman Children's Museum & Mall,'' and ``Port Island'' also has the ``Kobe Animal Kingdom.'' You can enjoy the exotic atmosphere at Kobe Brick Warehouse and Kitano Ijinkan-gai, so you'll want to plan accordingly to your child's age.
The biggest concerns when traveling with children are the sleeping environment and meal. You may find yourself thinking about things like whether you can sleep soundly and have peace of mind, or whether there is food that even children can eat. Also, the amount of baggage for children, such as diapers, wipes, and pajamas, is a problem. Therefore, we have selected some family-friendly hotels in Kobe that offer a wide range of services for children.
