Which area of Kobe is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Kobe for beaches is Suma, located along the western coast of the city.

Suma is primarily known for Suma Beach, a long stretch of sandy coastline popular for swimming and sunbathing during the warmer months. The area has a relaxed, suburban feel, with parks like Suma Rikyu Park offering green spaces and recreational activities. It's well-connected by local train lines, making it easy to reach from central Kobe.

This area is particularly good for families looking for a beach holiday. Suma Beach has gentle waters, making it suitable for children, and there are often facilities like changing rooms and snack kiosks available during the peak season. The nearby Suma Aqualife Park is another major draw, providing a fun and educational outing for all ages.

For those who enjoy water sports or a more active beach experience, Suma offers opportunities for activities like paddleboarding and beach volleyball.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Kobe?
The best time to enjoy a beach hotel in Kobe is during July and August, which marks the peak of summer. The weather is wonderfully warm, with average temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C, creating ideal conditions for swimming and sunbathing along the coast.

During these months, the city's beaches, like Suma Beach, are bustling with activity, great for enjoying the vibrant setting and engaging in water sports. It's also a fantastic time for families, as the warm waters are inviting for children, and many seaside amenities are fully operational. You'll find plenty of opportunities for outdoor dining with sea views and a lively energy around the waterfront areas.

For a slightly different, yet equally enjoyable, beach experience, late May to early June presents a great alternative. The weather is pleasantly warm, typically around 20°C to 25°C, which is still lovely for beach activities without the peak summer heat. You may find better value on hotel rates and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular beachside establishments during this shoulder season.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Kobe with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Kobe beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Kobe?
The best area for beach activities in Kobe is Suma Beach, located in Suma Ward.

Suma Beach is Kobe's most popular urban beach, stretching for about 1.8 kilometres along Osaka Bay. It's easily accessible by train, with Suma Station and Suma-kaihin-koen Station just a short walk away. The beach features a wide sandy area, palm trees, and a promenade, making it a pleasant spot for a day out.

Families will find Suma Beach particularly appealing. The shallow waters are suitable for children to play in, and there are facilities like changing rooms and showers. During the summer, the beach is popular for swimming and building sandcastles. There are also nearby parks, such as Suma Rikyu Park, which offers additional green spaces and playgrounds for families to enjoy.

For those looking for a relaxing day by the sea, Suma Beach offers plenty of space to sunbathe or enjoy a picnic. You can also take a leisurely stroll along the promenade, enjoying the views of the bay and the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in the distance.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Kobe as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Kobe for you.
