NESTA RESORT KOBE is a large-scale outdoor adventure resort located in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture. Set amid an expansive natural environment, the resort offers a wide range of activities, thrilling attractions, relaxation facilities, and accommodation options. It is an appealing destination for families, couples, and groups of friends looking for an active getaway in the Japanese countryside.
The site was formerly home to Greenpia Miki, a resort facility that closed on December 13, 2015. Noda Enterprise acquired the former property and opened NESTA RESORT KOBE on July 1, 2016, marking the beginning of its first phase. A second phase followed on April 20, 2017, expanding the range of facilities and activities available to visitors.
In 2018, Katana Inc., led by Tsuyoshi Morioka, who had helped oversee successful renovations at Universal Studios Japan, joined the project as an adviser. The resort underwent a transformation into a large-scale nature-based adventure theme park, introducing numerous new attractions and strengthening its appeal as an outdoor leisure destination.
In July 2022, all shares in the operating company were transferred from Noda Enterprise to real estate company Samty and Katana Inc. In October 2023, the operating company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Samty, and Katana Inc. withdrew from management.
