Nebutani Park is Kobe’s vibrant ode to nature—spring blossoms fall like snowflakes, summer shades the paths with emerald canopies, autumn sets the hills ablaze in red, and winter wraps everything in soft silver. Winding trails trace lakes reflecting skies, ducks glide across water, children laugh in the breeze. This isn’t just a park—it’s a living symphony of seasons.
