Japan Spring 2024 - Part 4 Kobe Nunobiki Herb Garden And Ropeway

 

I have known of the Nunobiki Herb Garden And Ropeway for a while but there was always something else to see in Kobe and there was not enough time. This time, I made the time to go to check it out, especially because it was spring. We went with an old friend of mine from my university days, she is Japanese and lives near Kobe. It was so nice to see her again and to finally meet her two precious daughters. I regret not practicing my Japanese with the kids more haha but oh well, maybe next time.

To get to the Nunobiki Herb Garden, we first took the subway to Shin-Kobe station. Then we took the elevator up to the garden entrance. The ticket for a round-trip ropeway ride was 1.800 JPY but it has now increased to 2,000 JPY for an adult. Kids fare is half of that. And yes, they do take credit card.

After the ticket counter, we went and lined up for the ropeway to the top station. From there, we walked downward along the path towards the mid-station where we would take the ropeway back down to the bottom station.

At the Nunobiki Herb Garden you can find a large variety of plants. From flowers to herbs and vegetables, they have them all sectioned and labeled. The top station has sections where you can smell different essential oils from many different plants. If you are keen, you can take workshops there too. My friend is an avid gardener so I got to learn a lot about the flowers and plants there.








They do have a lavender field at the garden but it was not in season. We did get to try their lavender soft ice cream though!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!šŸ˜Š Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...
