3-minute walk from Shin-Shinbe Station! Guest house private room for 2 (with free breakfast)
Very good stay, so close to Shin-kobe. We enjoyed the onigiri workshop with a very nice guy of the staff! And we went to the falls as recommended, it was beautiful. The bed are goodds, and you can easily charge your smartphone close to you.

Farmhouse Guest House Road
I was deeply touched by the majesty and grandeur of the hills and forests around Masayuki's place - had chosen to stay here because of the pictute of the rice fields but did not realize that this was a village tucked inside immensely beautiful hills. Greatly enjoyed the silence and walking around in the farm. Masyuki's family and friends are very warm hosts and their place is very beautifully created. Would love to come back.

TAKIO 3 guesthouse
Makoto-san was such an amazing person. He drove me to the metro station when i checked out and he greeted me when i get off the metro to check in as well. I was so sad that i only had 2 nights there. When i come back to Japan, this is a place that i will definetely come back to, even just to say hi and do things together again. He prepared us all a map he did by hand and it was the most helpful and cutest thing ever! His reccomendations were on point and delicios. He plans events and has a calendar of it so there is almost always things to do with him and it's so fun! Overall this stay was amazing and i am so grateful that i got to stay here. Thank you so much Makoto-san!

Amy is a great host and her place is also great. It is close to Kobe city centre with everything you need nearby. Highly recommend this place if you stay in Kobe.

It just so happened that it rained in Kyoto the night I stayed at Wolean. I opened the window and listened to the sound of rain all night before falling asleep. This is almost the happiest moment of my year ~

Traditional tatami Japanese style
The Host was very welcoming and wrote a welcome sign at the door. Although it was very far and tiring to walk from JR Station, it was still comforting to see such a warm welcome.After ringing the doorbell, the Host ran all the way to greet us. She was a very polite and friendly woman: she helped us with our luggage, showed us around the house, and gave us a lot of good advice and tips.On the day of departure, the Host was also very welcoming and offered to take us to the JR Station by private car to take the train.Despite some language barriers (we are mainland Chinese, sometimes we don't understand English), we still talked a lot: anime, band...The environment is very beautiful, there are some flowers and plants in the small yard, the air is fresh, and there is a shrine next to it that can calm our hearts.Overall, the experience of this trip is very good and worth trying.The last sentence is to tell us Chinese people: it is very worth trying, trust us, Chinese people do not lie to Chinese people!

5min SHIN-KOBE 12min SANNOMIYA 2F bigroom
The host is very warm and considerate and will carefully explain how to use the facilities of the homestay. At the same time, the room is very spacious and clean. The decor is cozy and vintage. The price is cheap. I highly recommend you to stay here in Kobe.
