One of the largest herb gardens in Japan, the Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens boast approx. 75,000 flowers and herbs from some 200 varieties blooming from season to season, across 12 gardens of varying themes. Visitors can stroll leisurely along the paths winding around the hills and flower beds, while enjoying the colors and scents that give a sense of the season. The gardens also have many other attractions, including a restaurant building modeled after the Wartburg Castle, a castle in Germany that dates from the Middle Ages.
