Just behind the port

Just behind the port city of Kobe is Mount Maya, where you can enjoy a little mountain climbing and a spectacular view. Mount Maya is famous for the night view from the summit, but it's also a great mountain for hiking. There are several routes to take, but my personal recommendation is to go half way around the mountain from behind Shin-Kobe Station and head to the summit. This route climbs the mountain along the river, making for a very pleasant hike. There are many famous spots, including cherry blossoms, waterfalls, and dams. And best of all, the view from the summit after a good workout gives you a sense of accomplishment. I recommend you visit during cherry blossom season. #springtrip #sakura #Kobe #MountMaya
