The experience

The tour starts with snow play at Mt. Rokko Snow Park, where you spend time outdoors under clear skies in the fresh winter air. From there the bus takes you to Buffet Dining The HARBOR, a restaurant in Kobe Harborland where lunch is an all-you-can-eat crab buffet. You fill your plate as many times as you want. The meal is included, along with bottled water for the ride.

After lunch, you move to strawberry picking at a local farm, where you harvest popular varieties straight from the plants. The final stop is Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlet, which has approximately 210 stores and is the largest outlet mall in western Japan. You have time to browse and shop at your own pace before the bus returns you to Osaka. The whole day runs about 10 hours, and an air-conditioned vehicle handles all the transport between stops.
