Providing ski-to-door access, a terrace and free WiFi, Rokko Outdoor Station FOTON is a recently renovated guest house 6.3 km from Mount Rokko and 7.8 km from Mount Maya. The property features mountain views and is 11 km from Arima Toys and Automata Museum and 11 km from Onsen-ji Temple. The accommodation provides luggage storage space and a shared lounge for guests.

We had the best time in this accomodation on Mt Rokko. Arriving by cable car was idyllic and easy to find from Kobe with the owners instructions. We absolutely loved the food! Actually, we would consider just coming back here to eat again. The owner is an amazing chef and cooked different foods for our stay. While my husband loved the Kobe beef, our teenage girls ate all the homecooked bread. My favourite was a delicious salad and grilled marinated japanese radish.. I still dream about them:-). The owners speak great english and was able to direct us well. We enjoyed an outing to Arima Onsen town from here by ropeway. Most likely our favourite stay in Japan!

Hostel Anchorage is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk away from Motomachi Station and about a 7-minute train ride and walk away from Sannomiya Station.

A convenience store is located within a 2-minute walk from Hostel Anchorage and there are many dining options within a 10-minute walking distance from the property.

Excellent staff! Fantastic English and super comfortable beds. We stayed in a 2 bedroom private room instead of the dorm, and it was clean, comfortable, and a well priced stay. Fantastic location about a 10 minute walk from the ocean and a lovely strip of shops right next door. Hands down, the best part of our stay was the owner! Super charismatic, fun, and extremely helpful. After adventuring in kobe he was always super attentive and keen on listening to us. Felt like staying with a friend!

    The hostel has really nice interior in what feels like a euro-Japan mix, nice kitchen, small sofa area where you can sit and read or put up your laptop, very charming bathroom with Japanese bathtub. The bunk beds are big and spacious with lots of room for your luggage. The neighbourhood is nice with lots of coffee shops and restaurants, about a 30min walk from the big shopping district.

    Easily in the top 3 of all the hostels I stayed at. Lovely vibe, cool staff and guests, very clean and charming hostel (I actually really liked the train noises). Private rooms are spacious and relatively cheap. This is what every hostel should aspire to be

    It’s a guest house/hostel so of course your expectations should be set with that in mind. It was clean, interesting, good location, and the staff member was really kind. Compared to other hostels I’ve stayed in, the beds were very quiet. I’m a light sleeper so I was thankful for that. The bed was similar to a futon, which I prefer because it is what I sleep on in my apartment in Japan. I also felt safe as a solo female traveler. I recommend this place. If I go back to Kobe I’ll definitely stay again.

    Small hostel on the side of the Chinese district. Nice, cheap and cozy - good access to the city center so location is a plus. The shower facilities were clean and good quality - though of course renting the bed in shared room it's not entirely private. Still I shared the room with only one other Japanese person and it was a pleasant and relaxing stay.

    First of all the owner Sai is a great host and will help you with anything you need. She even took us to a hike in the mountains. The bar in the hostel is a great chillout place, you could also choose music if you like. Rooftop and big kitchen too. Also the location is near city center

    The owner, Daichi, is such a nice host! He is a very well-travelled guy who loves to talk and share information with you! He knows all the places to eat at and places to visit in Kobe, that he and his wife made binders with detailed information in Japanese and English for guests. The guesthouse isn't the closest to the restaurants, but Kobe is so walkable that, you can easily get to kitano-cho and sannomiya areas on foot. If you're interested in going to the herb garden or hike to the waterfall, then this is a great location for you!
