Japan trip day 6 ~ Mount Rokko @ Kobe

Woke up at usual time and set off to our visit to Mt Rokko.  Our itinerary was to visit Rokko Alpine Botanical Garden and Rokko Garden Terrace.  The rest of the places in the mountain we skipped.

We took JR train to Rokkomichi station and changed to bus to Rokko Cable Shita station.  Took cable car to Rokko Sanko station and from there, we had to take bus to move around the mountain places of interest.  As it may not be the peak season, the cable car and buses were not crowded.  I like it!





















Our intention was to visit the Botanical Garden first but due to a slight error (we forgot to press bell to alight), we missed our stop and proceeded to the Garden Terrace first.  Not much to see there but we went to the gift shop and I bought something there.  Very cute and sweet stuff sold in the shop.  I bought a bottle of strawberry jam home.




















Took some photos around the area and proceeded to the Botanical garden.  From the notice board, there were only some small flowers to be viewed at this time.  We thought we would make a quick one since nothing much to see but....  ultimately, we spent about 3 hours there.  I think for us, we can really focus and spent our time in a small place each time.  :P

We took photos of the different types of flowers in the garden.  Quite hot today and I took off my jacket.

































Had dinner at Namba walk again tonight.  Yummy!  We were early tonight so had more choices to find a restaurant that we wanted to try the food.
