Kobe has always been a ‘city of villages’, with each district and area offering something entirely unique and different. It’s a city that rewards patient exploration…make sure you make the most of it during your time at Lexis Japan!
One of our most popular day trips from Kobe is to Himeji (of particular interest to James Bond fans!). Himeji Castle is a criminally under-visited attraction, easily accessible in about 45 minutes by train from Kobe.

Coming to Kobe? Kobe is known throughout Japan as a ‘city for foodies’. While you can find the finest of Michelin dining in Kobe, it’s down at street level that the food scene really takes off.

Lexis Japan campus is located in the heart of Kobe and is very close to both the mountains and the ocean. An incredible blend of history and contemporary culture is what you’ll find throughout Kobe.
