Kobe Maya Mountain to See One of Japan's Three Great Night Views(1)
Save time: Avoid Tuesday! Because the Maya Mountain cable car is out of service on Tuesday! Maya Mountain is known as one of Japan's three great night views, the other two being Nagasaki and Hakodate. 🎢🍃 Actually, the strategy for viewing the night view is not complicated, it is simply: 1️⃣ Take the Rokko Mountain cable car up, take a bus (or walk for an hour and a half) to Maya Mountain, and then take the Maya Mountain cable car down. ⚠️ Be cautious about going in the opposite direction. If you take the Maya Mountain cable car up and then walk after viewing the night view (if you do this, you will miss the last bus from Maya Mountain to Rokko Mountain at 9:10 PM), it will take 1.5 hours to catch the last cable car down the mountain at Rokko Mountain at 9:10 PM. If you are traveling on Tuesday, you will have to do this... 2️⃣ Take the Maya Mountain cable car round trip. The Maya Mountain cable car is divided into two sections, one from the foot of the mountain to the waist of the mountain at the Rainbow Station, and the other from the Rainbow Station to the Maya Mountain observation deck (also called the "Scoop the Moon Platform"). 🎢🍃The second section of the cable car from Maya Mountain to the Rainbow Station is out of service, so you have to walk for 30 minutes to the Rainbow Station cable car and then take the cable car down the mountain. 🎢🍃 Therefore, if you don't plan to go to Rokko Mountain, the round trip to Maya Mountain is not too troublesome. ⚠️ I want to focus on the return trip from Maya Mountain on Tuesday, because I was the one who got caught. I chose to go on Tuesday, with a probability of only one in seven, and I really did it... #Kobe
