Kobe Airport is decorated with cute Christmas decorations from the Port Liner station to the ANA and Skymark counters and the rooftop deck. It's a compact airport, so I enjoyed it until departure. It's in an area that anyone can enter, so please take a walk around. It was very beautiful at night.

Broccoli is displayed on the rooftop, and you can get a panoramic view of Kobe city. There are many Skymark flights, so it's nice to see the Pikachu jet. Some people come to Kobe Airport for a walk with their children. It's a small airport, but it's loved by locals. ✱----------------------------------------------- [Name] Kobe Airport Marine Air [Location] Kobe Airport 1, Chuo-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture [Access] About 18 minutes by Port Liner from Sannomiya [Opening hours] 06:00-24:00 *Observation deck is 6:30-22:00 Visit date: October 2024 -----------------------------------------------✱ #Airport trip #100 travel styles #Domestic travel #Tourism #Hyogo tourism #Kobe airport

If there are seats available at the airport counter on the day, you can change to a forward seat (front row). It costs 1,000 yen. The main benefits are priority boarding, free services such as snacks, and priority baggage return service. My impression of using it for the first time was that it was comfortable and made me feel a little richer. It was about an hour to Haneda, but it was a good experience. If you use Skymark, check it out. 〈Skymark 102〉 Kobe Airport (09:15) → Haneda Airport (10:25) ・10kg carry-on baggage (free) ・20kg checked baggage (free) ・You must pass through security 20 minutes before departure Boarding date: July 2024 #AirplaneTravel2024 #100TravelStyle #Skymark #BoardingReport #KobeAirport #HanedaAirport #ForwardSeat

This is a ferry that connects Kansai Airport and Kobe. Early morning and late night flights are also available. If you board the ferry one way, you can use the Kobe side parking lot for free for any number of nights during your trip (applications must be made on board).

The seats are clean and comfortable. Although it is a low-cost airline, there is enough space and you won't feel uncomfortable or cramped. The ticket price is only over 200 yuan, which includes a 20kg checked luggage and a 7kg hand luggage, and you can fly from Kobe to Okinawa. The flight attendants have good service, and there are chocolate and coffee served to passengers on the plane. It is very cost-effective. Since most of the passengers on domestic flights are Japanese nationals, the cabin is very quiet and polite, making people feel relaxed and comfortable.

#Overseas travel The last 4th day of 3 nights and 4 days greets me in Osaka while looking at the ocean. I think it was designed so that I can see the ocean while lying in bed. Since it is an old building like the Westin Chosun Busan, the windows are wide open. I soothe my skin that was ripened by the morning half-body bath at 6 o'clock. I lie down on the bed until 7 o'clock and then participate in breakfast. As expected of a popular hotel, there is a waiting line for breakfast. So I take my time. The breakfast is not as delicious as other branches. I return to the room at 8 o'clock and lie down on the bed again after a long chat. Late check-out is guaranteed at 2 o'clock, but I won't be there until then and will check out at 11 o'clock. I lie down and rest until 9:30 and then get ready and head to the ATC Center across the street. It is convenient because the hotel is connected to Trade Center Mae Station by an elevated road. There is also an observation deck here. I remember coming here to see the observation deck for free about 15 years ago when the Osaka Amazing Pass was an icon. There is no separate use of the observation deck. Osaka Manhole Cards are distributed from 10 o'clock in the building on the ATC Center side. You can receive the card by filling out the questionnaire on the app. There is a cafe lounge for local senior citizens on the 10th floor of the building. You can see the Osaka Expo from here, so with the staff's permission, go in and take pictures. Return to the hotel. Take pictures of the colorful New Trams from your room, then check out at 11 o'clock and take the hotel shuttle to Osaka Station. Tour Umegi Koen Ajisai Road and visit the Ando Tadao Exhibition. At 1 o'clock, participate in the afternoon tea on the Fukushima side that you have reserved. It is similar to the condition of Fukuoka, where I visited before, as it is a Japanese afternoon tea. It is very generous. Go to Shin-Osaka Station and take the 15:00 Shinkansen to Nishi-Akashi and Akashi Station. We collect a large number of Akashi manholes by 16:15 and go to Kobe Airport by 17:00. Since it is an airport that does not accept mobile ticketing, we arrive 1 hour and a half early. We talk about this and that while issuing tickets around 17:15. They say there will be a delay of about 1 hour from 18:30. They empty out an entire seat because there are a lot of empty seats. They say they will go to the domestic terminal and come back after landing, which is a good idea. At 17:30, we take a free shuttle from the international terminal to the domestic terminal. It is a 3-minute walk, but the bus is one-way, so it goes around a large oval-shaped track. The high-speed ferry terminal connected to Kansai Airport can be heard according to the ferry schedule. The order is domestic terminal-international terminal-high-speed ferry terminal-domestic terminal, so it takes about 10 seconds from the domestic terminal to the international terminal. It is about 300 meters. We come to the domestic terminal and blow the trumpet of Bingbiru Nabal on the dumplings. There is a miniature exhibition, so I took pictures of everything. Entering the international terminal. The duty-free shop is closed, and only the concession stand and vending machines welcome you. There are no restaurants inside, so it would be best to spend as much time as possible in the domestic terminal. I plan to go back and forth to the same airport next month. Thank you. #JapanTravel #OsakaTravel #KobeTravel #Osaka #Kobe

This upcoming trip to Japan is a 3-night, 4-day itinerary to Kobe. While I’ve previously used Kobe Airport for domestic flights, this will be my first time using it for international travel. The plan includes staying in Hiroshima on Day 1, Izumo on Day 2, and Osaka on Day 3, utilizing the Sanyo-Sanin Pass for 7 days. For domestic flights, I’ll be flying one-way from Izumo Airport to Oki Airport and then from Oki Airport to Itami Airport. On Oki Island, there’s a cruise itinerary planned. I’ll participate in afternoon tea sessions four times during the trip. Additionally, I’ll visit the Osaka Expo during its second nighttime opening following the opening week in April. From March to July, I’ll also attend the Ando Exhibition in Osaka. I plan to collect manhole cards in Hiroshima, Matsue, Yasugi, Yonago, Osaka, and other locations. For Pokémon manhole tours, Shimane Prefecture will be my 37th destination. Initially, I had booked a 2-night, 3-day trip to Yonago, but I canceled it and switched to a 3-night, 4-day trip to Kobe, making the itinerary more expansive. However, I’m aiming to reduce expenses by utilizing free hotel services to save on alcohol and meals. Although the 7-day unlimited pass allows travel to places like Tsuruga and Fukuoka, spending too much time on trains might not be worth it, so I’ll likely use the pass just enough to break even. Moreover, on Day 3, the island itinerary and two domestic flights mean I won’t be using JR trains much, effectively limiting the pass usage to about three days. Traveling between June and September often comes with typhoon-related issues. Having visited Japan around 60 times during this period, I’ve frequently experienced flight cancellations and delays. Quick decision-making and having Plan B and C ready are essential for such trips. Regardless, my travels to Japan will continue. Thank you.

#Overseas travel The Miniature Life X Kobe Airport exhibition, which was introduced as a special exhibition in 2022, has been reopened as a permanent exhibition due to explosive support and continues to this day. If you stay at the Portpia Hotel, you can get a manhole card and go here. If you go to the 4th floor of the airport, there is an observation deck where you can see Kobe City View, Akashi Kaikyo Bridge View, Kansai Airport, and Osaka City, and you can also see airplanes taking off and landing up close. The miniature exhibition is held in two buildings here. First, there is a wooden model in the center, which is also a work of Miniature Life, and you can touch it and take pictures together as an installation art. The exhibition is divided into the Kobe Zone and the Airport Zone. Let's start with the Kobe Zone. This is a space that shows Kobe City in miniature. The main large-scale work expressing the Kobe City view with local products is the best. It shows Kobe City from Port Island, starting from Kobe Airport. The author's detailed parts are felt as they are. The Portopia Hotel where I stayed was also included in both the main building and the new building. (Hotel PET bottled water also appears.👍) Similarly, the Okura Hotel where I stayed previously also appears, and the square hotel building is accurately depicted with a square box that can be inferred from the Okura Hotel Bakery packaging box. It's fun to find them one by one. The Rokkosan Ranches are also expressed amazingly, and the ingenuity of matching them with local specialties continues. If you watch the video from the Seoul exhibition, you can see how they are made, and you can see that they add details to details. After viewing the Kobe Pavilion, I saw the tree sculptures in the central square, watched a light plane take off, and saw the view of Kobe City and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, and quenched my thirst from the hot weather since the morning with Pocari Sweat. I went up to view the airport zone. There are similar works here that I saw at the exhibition held in Yeouido. In the travel theme corner, airport scenes are expressed in various ways using calculators, coin lockers, iPhones, scotch tape, staplers, cutters, etc. It is an amazing moment that will make you exclaim in admiration. Let's look at the moments captured in photos while looking at the works in the airport zone with your own two eyes~~~! You can feel the artist's creativity and wit through wordplay in detail. If you are traveling to Osaka, stop by Kobe Airport. I think you will gain small but great happiness. I was able to feel in detail what I couldn't see leisurely because I was buried in the crowds at the Seoul exhibition. Thank you. #miniaturelife #kobeairport #kobeairport #japantravel #tanakatatatsuya #miniaturelife #kobetravel

The check-in process was smooth, and the compact size of the airport made moving around incredibly easy! The cabin was clean, and the seats were comfortable without feeling cramped.

The convenient access from Kobe to Hokkaido and the great value for money make Skymark a perfect choice for starting your trip with ease!

Relax and refresh quietly before departure ✈️☕ Upon arriving at Kobe Airport, I took a moment to unwind in the card lounge before boarding. The compact size of the airport makes the calm and serene atmosphere of the lounge even more appreciated. The seating is spacious and quiet, and from the window-side seats, you can enjoy a view of the runway, watching planes while relaxing. The drink bar offers coffee, tea, juice, and even small snacks. It's the perfect spot to take a breather after checking in your large luggage, making the start of your journey much more comfortable.

Kobe Airport is famous for its easy access, and when you actually use it, you can see planes coming in one after another from the outdoor observation deck, and it's also great to be able to eat while watching the planes! Kobe Airport is becoming more internationalized and deregulation is progressing, so we can expect it to develop even more. For meals, we went to a restaurant called "Meat and Vegetable Kobeen 100 Hours Curry Labo-TeriaPiece Kobe Airport Store," and both the curry and vegetables were very delicious. It's located in the food court. I've used many airports up to now, but Kobe Airport is by far the best! It's close to Sannomiya Station, you can see the planes, and the food is delicious, so when I go abroad, I'll always go via Kobe Airport! I recommend it!

Kobe Airport's international terminal. It's a short walk from the domestic terminal. #KobeAirport #kobeairport It's compact and there is a small duty-free shop after departure. Boarding by bus. There are planes from Korea and China.

I traveled to Kansai using Kobe Airport, and my trip to Kobe was the best. Nankinmachi, Kobe Port Tower Memorial Park, and the food alley near Sannomiya Station were all great.

#SeasonalPlacesInJapan The observation deck on the 4th floor of Kobe Airport is an area that can be enjoyed even by those who are not flying.

There is no way to get there in one go from our country. This is because it is a domestic flight. It is located at the southern end of the island where Kobe IKEA is. There is a train that goes right to the airport, so it is easy to access. The rooftop observation deck is really great. You can see the entire Kobe city at a glance, and the runway is also cool. #2025OverseasTravelEvent

I flew with Skymark from Kobe Airport to Haneda, and overall it was a comfortable flight. Check-in was smooth, the airport was relatively uncrowded, and I was able to board without any stress. The cabin was clean, the seats were spacious, and I was able to relax. The staff were polite and I felt at ease. The flight was short, about an hour, and we arrived at Haneda in no time. We enjoyed the scenery, and the view of Tokyo Bay was particularly impressive. Skymark is reasonably priced and has good service, so I would definitely use them again. It's an airline I'd definitely choose for my next trip. #FuriTabi #KobeAirport #Kobe

I happened to be in an airport for a layover, and headed to the rooftop area to kill time, and I was surprised to see such a large greenery in front of me! Lol At first, I thought it was a tree🌲, but it looked a bit strange. And it looked familiar. Hmm? Broccoli? 🤣🤣 I laughed out loud and took lots of photos✌️ This is Kobe Airport! From September 30, 2022, Kobe Airport will be hosting the first permanent museum by miniature photographer and metaphor artist Tatsuya Tanaka, "MINIATURE LIFE × KOBE AIRPORT", and there was a miniature Kobe cityscape! Amazing👏 There were candy boxes, stationery, miscellaneous goods, and other things that represented the city of Kobe!!! ! ! ! Airports are exciting, and they're full of the good things about the region, so I was surprised to see that they have a soccer team! Even the smallest things like that give me a chance to learn about the region, so I love it!! Even if you live in Japan, the airports you use are limited, and you don't often visit regional airports, so it was my first time at Kobe Airport, and I had a lot of fun!!! Please come to Kobe Airport to see this giant broccoli🥦☺️ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Rooftop observation deck (large Broccoli object) 6:30-22:00 Exhibition room [Weekdays] 10:00-19:00 [Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays] 9:00-20:00 ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ #Sakura2024 #KobeAirport #Kobe #Airport #WesternJapan

#HyogoTourism Kobe Airport is not the only attraction. There is a fishing spot, wedding hall and beach on the airport island. The beach is especially recommended, where you can feel the tropical atmosphere and take the best photo of the plane landing there! On weekends, you can access the beach by free shuttle bus, but on weekdays, it is not available, so we recommend passing by the Airbus Helicopter!

#HyogoTourism Kobe Airport is actually a compact airport, but it has a lot to see. Miniatures supervised by miniature artist Tanaka are on display and installed here. Particularly interesting is the giant broccoli on the observation deck and the miniature of Kobe made using local products. It's very intricately made, so it's the perfect place to wait for your flight. It's free!
