On a ridge of Mount Rokko (alt. 400m/1,312ft), the main appeal of this garden, home to over 75,000 aromatic and medicinal plants, is the view, particularly grandiose at night, when it embraces the vast illuminated swathe of the Kobe-Osaka metropolis. A gently sloping paved path winds through the 14 sections of the flower and herb garden, divided up into type, season or origin, as far as the midway cable car station (Kaze no Oka Mid Station).
