Send Flowers to Kobe, Japan

Squeezed between the Rokko mountains and the sea, Kobe is a long, narrow port city with a strong international streak. Foreign merchants built their homes in Kitano in the nineteenth century, and overseas families still live there and on Rokko Island, near the international schools. Sannomiya is the commercial centre, while Harborland and Port Island hold hotels, hospitals and offices by the water.

Kobe residents have a reputation for elegant taste, shaped by a long history of bakeries, fashion houses and Western-style cafes. Soft, well-composed bouquets in pastel tones suit the city, and flowers are a favourite gift for birthdays, anniversaries and thank-you gestures.

Many homes stand on steep hillside streets in Nada and Higashinada, so a clear address and a phone number help the florist find the right entrance. For flower delivery in Kobe, order before midnight Japan time and a local florist delivers the next day, Monday to Saturday. Same-day and Sunday deliveries are not offered in Japan.
