From July, the Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens will host their Summer Garden Fest, a seasonal event with a variety of different activities for visitors to enjoy. There will be fields of sunflowers in bloom, a mist garden to cool off in, evening illuminations, and drinks that incorporate mint and edible flowers grown on-site at the terrace bar.

Families with children don't miss out either -- there are several activities that are designed with kids in mind at the event. From creating their own cosmos seed mud "dumplings" to plant at home, to exploring the grounds on a herb treasure hunt, there's plenty to interest the little ones.
