Kobe/Kyoto

A cosmopolitan but compact port city that boasts some of the country’s best beef

Begin your Japan journey in the fabulous port city of Kobe, where guests can arrive by private plane at Kobe Airport and be processed by Customs and Immigration in a private lounge before taking an executive taxi a short 20 min ride to the Port of Kobe or Ashiya Marina, to meet the yacht.
From this location enjoy a day trip by land to the ancient city of Kyoto, one of Japan’s former capitals. Here you will visit the famous Golden Temple, the Gion Geisha District and Kiyomizu Temple on the hill overlooking the city.
In the evening have dinner with traditional entertainment in Kyoto (singing, dancing and music) with Geisha; or in Kobe dine at one of the many famous Kobe Beef restaurants, before heading to the top of Rokko Mountain to take in the breathtaking views of Kansai and the whole of Osaka Bay.
