SaveAn adventure park spread over 20 hectares of hillside, with 174 obstacle points.
Preschoolers get an area built for them, Chibidoland, while elementary schoolers and up cross a pond on the water course.
More about this place (history, size)
GREENIA runs from late March to mid-November, and the same hillside then reopens for the winter as Rokkosan Snow Park. Go up in the winter months and you get the Snow Park, not the obstacle courses. GREENIA opened in April 2021 on Mount Rokko in Kobe. Its 174 obstacle points sit across eight areas, about 50 acres in all. The newest of those areas, Chibidoland, opened in March 2026 and is built for preschoolers.
- The water course, wonder amembo, is open only to children in elementary school or above who are at least 110 cm (3 ft 7 in) tall, so a child who has not started school cannot go on it even with an admission ticket.■
- From third grade through high school, the guardian on the forest and aerial courses can either take part or just watch, and one adult may bring up to four people under 18.■
- Chibidoland, an obstacle area built for preschoolers, opened on March 20, 2026.■
- There are changing rooms and coin showers, marked on the park map, and you are asked to change inside them rather than out in the open.■
- A vanity area for fixing hair and makeup sits inside the women's changing room, next to the official GREENIA shop, and it is small enough that you are asked not to linger.■
- Coin lockers are set around the grounds at 200 yen for a small one and 400 yen for a large one, and both the lockers and the parking lot take cash only.■
- The ticket counter, the shop, Restaurant Alpenrose, and the barbecue area take cards, some e-money, and QR payments, but the parking lot and the lockers are cash only.■
- You can leave and come back the same day by showing the gate staff a ticket for each person, which makes it easy to run bags back to the car.■
- Parking holds 700 cars and costs 1,000 yen for a standard vehicle, rising to 2,000 yen in peak periods such as Golden Week and Obon, and to 3,000 yen from September 20 to 22.■
- The lots let cars in around the clock and are numbered 1, 2, and 3 in order of closeness to the main gate, with Lot 3 opening only once the first two are full.■
- The address is 4512-98 Kita-Rokko, Rokkosan-cho, Nada-ku, Kobe 657-0101, and the phone number is 078-891-0366.■
- Helmets and pads are free to borrow and gloves cost 250 yen to buy, handed out from the huts near the entrances to Mount Kingdom, Dekairiki, and Yahhoi.■
- Mount Rokko runs about 5°C (9°F) cooler than the city below, so bring a windproof layer you can put on and take off.■
- Sunny weekends and holidays fill both the parking lot and the park and put waits on the obstacles, but the ground courses let you skip points, so head for whatever is empty.■
- The site covers about 50 acres (200,000 square meters, or five Hanshin Koshien Stadiums), holds 174 obstacle points across eight areas, and opened on April 3, 2021.■
- Dogs may come in on a leash after you sign a pledge on arrival, but there is no dog run and they cannot go inside the obstacle areas, the restaurant, or the shop.■
- The barbecue area lends out pots, cutting boards, knives, kettles, and pans for free, and you wash what you use and return it to the reception counter.■
With kids, here's the plan
Buy tickets by school year: the ticket sets which courses your kids can go on. Children who have not started elementary school play in Chibidoland, the area built for them, while first graders and up cross the pond on the water course. One admission covers up to 135 obstacle points across the water and ground courses, with nothing to reserve and nothing more to pay. You can push a stroller along the paths, but the obstacle areas are natural hillside, with stretches that climb and drop steeply. Helmets and pads are free to borrow from the huts by the course entrances.
Rainy days and each age
- Rainy day The athletic areas are left as natural terrain. It stays open in the rain apart from some areas and points, but the ground gets slippery; in heavy rain or thunder the athletic courses can't be used, and the paths are narrow enough that you can't walk with an umbrella up.
- Ages 0-1 Admission is free for children 0 to 3. You can move a stroller through the park, which spreads 174 obstacle points across a hillside, so the baby takes it in from the stroller or from your arms while the rest of the family climbs and crosses. You may bring your own food and drink and a tent, and pitch the tent on the lawn or anywhere it does not block a path, which gives you a resting spot of your own. Rokkosan runs about 5°C cooler than the city below, so even in summer you are in cool air.A stroller can generally get around the grounds, but the athletic areas are left as natural terrain and some places climb and drop steeply. Strollers and luggage carts are allowed in. Since Rokkosan is about 5°C cooler than the city, bring a windproof jacket that layers on and off. Children 0 to 3 are free, but anyone accompanying without doing the athletics still pays admission, so a parent who only watches needs a ticket too, at 3,000 yen for an adult. With your ticket you may re-enter the same day, so you can go back to the car to drop off luggage. Parking (1,000 yen for a regular car, 2,000 yen in peak season) and the coin lockers (200 yen small, 400 yen large) take cash only.
- Ages 2-3 Chibidoland, an athletic area built for preschoolers, opened on 20 March 2026. Admission is free for children 0 to 3. On the land courses you are free to skip points, so you can leave the crowded ones for later and work through whatever your child can manage, at their own pace, wherever it is empty. Helmets and supports are lent free of charge, from the huts near the entrances to Mount Kingdom, Dekairiki and Yahhoi.The water course, wonder amembo, is for elementary school age and up at 110 cm or taller. While an older sibling takes it on, you watch from around the pond; the paths there are narrow, so you cannot walk holding a parasol or umbrella. Wheeled ride-on toys such as sleds, strider bikes, tricycles and kickboards may not be brought in, though strollers and luggage carts may. Sandals, Crocs and water shoes with drainage holes in the sole are not allowed on the courses, so put your child in athletic shoes. The athletic areas are left as natural terrain, with some steep ups and downs. Children of elementary school age and under cannot enter on their own.
- Ages 4-6 The admission ticket needs no reservation and no extra fee, so the land courses are yours to roam. Points can be skipped, which means your child picks the ones they think they can do out of the eight areas and works through them in their own order. Chibidoland, the athletic area built for preschoolers, opened on 20 March 2026. Helmets and supports are lent free of charge, and gloves are sold for 250 yen.The preschool admission ticket, for ages 4 to 6, is 1,500 yen, and it does not cover the water, aerial or forest courses. If you want a child starting first grade in March or April to try them, buying the elementary school ticket at 2,000 yen even before they enroll lets them take on the water course, wonder amembo; it asks for elementary school age and 110 cm or taller, so measure your child beforehand. The forest course, Forest Adventure, and the aerial one, the Long Zip Slide, also ask for 110 cm or taller and under 100 kg, and in grades 1 and 2 a guardian aged 18 or over has to go through the course with the child. The forest course is booked and paid online in advance; the aerial one is sold on site on the day, first come first served. Sandals, Crocs and water shoes with drainage holes in the sole are not allowed on the courses. For getting wet on the water course there are changing rooms and coin showers, and you change there or in the shower room rather than outdoors.

Stroller OKStroller friendly: Strollers and luggage carts can be brought in, and you can push a stroller around the park. The athletic areas keep the natural shape of the hillside, so some stretches climb and drop steeply. Sleds, balance bikes, tricycles, kick scooters and anything else on wheels are not allowed, nor are drones.■

- You can generally move around the grounds with a stroller, but the obstacle areas are left as natural terrain and some stretches climb and drop steeply.■
- Strollers and carts for carrying luggage are allowed in, while sleds, balance bikes, tricycles, kick scooters and other wheeled toys are not, and neither are drones or anything that involves fire.■
Own foodOutside food allowed: You may bring your own food and drink, though not into the restaurant. Tents are allowed too, on the grass or anywhere that does not block a path, and pegs may be used — watch for wind. Cards, some e-money and QR payment work at the ticket windows, the shop, Restaurant Alpenrose and the barbecue area, but the parking lot and the lockers take cash only.■
Show all 3 checks
Indoor / outdoor: The whole park is outdoors, on hillside left in its natural shape. The park recommends a hat, insect repellent and a windproof layer you can take on and off. Most of it stays open in the rain, though the ground turns slippery and heavy rain or thunder can stop the courses.■
Best-fit ages (guide): Ages 0 to 3 get in free and preschoolers aged 4 to 6 pay ¥1,500, and there is a whole area built for preschoolers, Chibidoland, which opened on March 20, 2026. The water, air and forest courses are a different matter: they take elementary school age and above at 110 cm or taller, and a preschooler ticket cannot be used on them at all. Air and forest add a limit of under 100 kg, and children in the first two years of elementary school can only go if a parent aged 18 or over does the course with them. Anyone who comes along without doing a course still needs an admission ticket. Children of elementary school age and under cannot come in on their own.■
Stroller access notes: Parking holds 700 cars and is open around the clock; lots 1, 2 and 3 sit in that order of nearness to the main gate, and lot 3 opens only when the first two fill. By public transport, the Rokko Sanjo bus stop named Athletic Park GREENIA is about a 4-minute walk from the main gate, reached by the Rokko Cable Car and the Rokko Sanjo bus from Hankyu Rokko, JR Rokkomichi or Hanshin Mikage. Coin lockers stand around the park at ¥200 and ¥400, and the two cable car stations have only 8 to 15 lockers each. A ticket lets you go in and out all day if you show it to the gate staff, so you can leave things in the car. Sunny weekends and holidays fill the parking lot and bring queues at the courses; ground courses let you skip points, so start where it is empty.■

Before you go
- The admission ticket for preschoolers — children not yet in elementary school — rules out the water, aerial, and forest courses entirely, so if your child is starting first grade that spring, buy the elementary-school ticket in March or April even before school begins.■
- On the forest course (Forest Adventure) and the aerial one (Long Zip Slide), first and second graders can take part only if a guardian aged 18 or over does the course alongside them.■
- You may bring your own food and drink, though not into the restaurant, and you may bring a tent and set it up on the grass or anywhere else it will not block a path.■
- You cannot do the courses in a skirt, heels, sandals, Crocs, or water shoes with drainage holes in the sole, and a swimsuit on its own is not allowed either — wear clothes over it.■
- Anyone on the water course can get soaked or fall in, the adult going along included, so people who are not taking part watch from around the pond. The walkways are too narrow to walk with an umbrella or parasol open.■
More notes (6)
- Admission on its own covers up to 135 points on the water and ground courses, with no reservation and no extra charge.■
- The forest and aerial courses require at least 110 cm (3 ft 7 in) of height and under 100 kg (220 lb) of weight, and the forest course is booked and paid for online in advance while the aerial one is sold inside the park on the day, first come first served.■
- The park stays open in the rain apart from some areas and points, and the ground turns slippery; heavy rain or thunder closes the obstacle courses.■
- Children of elementary school age and younger cannot come in without an adult, and anyone from middle school up to 18 has to stay reachable by a guardian.■
- Plain admission needs no reservation, the combined admission-plus-FOREST ticket has to be booked online ahead of time, and the aerial course is signed up for inside the park on the day.■
- Even when the forest course is fully booked, plain admission still gets you onto as many as 135 points on the water and ground courses.■
Basics
- Fee：Admission is ¥3,000 for adults, ¥2,500 for students, ¥2,000 for elementary school children, ¥1,500 for preschoolers aged 4 to 6, and free for ages 0 to 3. That ticket covers up to 135 ground and water points with no reservation and no extra charge. The forest course adds ¥2,000 on weekdays and ¥2,500 on weekend and holiday days; the long zip slide adds ¥1,000 and ¥1,500. Anyone who comes along without doing any course still pays admission. Helmets and pads are lent free, gloves cost ¥250. Parking is ¥1,000 per car, ¥2,000 in peak periods and ¥3,000 on September 20 to 22, cash only, as are the lockers (¥200 small, ¥400 large). Showing a disability certificate or the Mirairo ID app halves the ticket for the holder and one companion of junior high age or older, at the staffed window on the day.■
- Hours：The park runs from March 20 to November 15, 2026. It is 10:00-17:00 with last entry at 16:30, and on busy days it may open at 9:00 or stay open until 18:00 — the calendar shows each day. Closed on Thursdays, with five exceptions: it opens on the Thursdays of March 26, April 2 and April 30, it opens right through July 23 to August 27, and it closes for four days in a row from Tuesday June 16 to Friday June 19. In winter the same site becomes a ski area, Rokkosan Snow Park, so there is no athletic course then. Each course has its own last reception time: the forest course stops at 14:15 and the zip slide at 16:00.■
- Booking：The basic admission ticket needs no reservation. The forest course (Forest Adventure) is sold only as an advance, prepaid online booking together with admission, and the long zip slide is sold on the day inside the park, first come first served. Groups of 15 or more paying visitors must phone ahead.■Official booking site ↗
Basics in detail (9)
Hours and closures
- The 2026 season runs from March 20 to November 15, and in winter the same site operates as Rokkosan Snow Park, so a winter visit finds no obstacle courses at all.■
- It closes on Thursdays, except for March 26, April 2, and April 30, and it stays open every day from July 23 to August 27. It also shuts for four days straight, Tuesday June 16 through Friday June 19.■
- Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with last entry at 4:30 p.m., though busy days can open at 9 a.m. or close at 6 p.m., and the times for each date are posted on the operating calendar.■
Fees
- Admission is 3,000 yen for adults, 2,500 yen for students, 2,000 yen for elementary schoolers, 1,500 yen for preschoolers aged 4 to 6, and free for children 3 and under.■
- Adults who come along only to watch still pay admission, so buy a ticket for every person walking through the gate.■
- On top of admission, the forest course costs 2,000 yen on weekdays and 2,500 yen on weekends, holidays, and days priced like them; the aerial course is cheaper, at 1,000 yen and 1,500 yen.■
- Showing a disability certificate or a Mirairo ID halves the price for the holder and one companion of middle-school age or older. Buy those tickets on the day at the staffed window, not in advance or from a machine.■
Getting there
- It is about a four-minute walk from the Athletic Park GREENIA stop on the Rokko Sanjo Bus to the main gate.■
- Coin lockers are available at Rokko Cable Shita Station, Rokko Cable Rokko Sanjo Station, and GREENIA itself (the Snow Park in winter), though the two cable stations have only about 8 to 15 each.■

Eight areas hold 174 points, and admission alone covers up to 135 of them, with no reservation. Preschoolers have their own area, Chibidoland. The water, air and forest courses take elementary school age and 110 cm of height. Measure your child at home and you will know where to aim on the day. Anyone who only watches still pays admission. The hilltop runs about 5°C cooler than the city, so bring a layer. Sunny weekends bring waits, but ground points can be skipped, so start where it is empty.
