Accommodation close to Nunobiki Falls:
There is no camping in Nunobiki Park where the falls are located. There are several hotels and homestays close to Shin-Kobe station, given it is a major transport hub.
The closest accommodation I could find was the
ANA Crowne Plaza, which is located on the edge of the car park for the railway station, on a parcel of land squeezed in between the train station
and the Gondola lift station that takes the alternative route to Nunobiki Falls via the Kobe Nunobiki Herb Garden.

Where did I stay?
I actually did not stay in Kobe, but instead stayed in Osaka and visited the Nunobiki Falls as a day trip to Kobe. Shin-Kobe station is only a 20 minute bullet train ride from the Osaka
bullet train station, or up to an hour on the standard inter-city trains. In Osaka I stayed at
Hotel The Leben Osaka
(as a paying guest), which was one of the more mordern, spacious hotels that I stayed in whilst in Japan, in a good location within walking distance of two subways, plenty of eateries, and the river.
