A 189-seat aircraft will operate the route once daily. The flight departs Incheon International Airport at 1:30 p.m. and arrives at Kobe Airport at 3:30 p.m., with a flight duration of approximately two hours. The return flight departs Kobe at 4:30 p.m. and arrives at Incheon Airport at 6:30 p.m.

Until now, travelers from Korea who wanted to visit Kobe had to travel via Osaka Kansai Airport and then take a limousine bus or train for more than an hour. With the opening of this direct route, travelers can now plan a much more convenient and relaxed journey.

Kobe, the central city of Hyogo Prefecture in Japan, is renowned for its exotic port city atmosphere and rich culinary scene. The city offers a variety of attractions, from the classic streets of Kitano Ijinkan, where 19th-century architectural heritage is well preserved, to the beautifully illuminated Meriken Park and Arima Onsen, one of Japan’s three major hot springs. In particular, the city is well known for world-class delicacies such as Kobe beef—one of the world’s three most famous types of beef—and a sophisticated café scene often referred to as a dessert mecca, providing high satisfaction for foodies.

Kobe is especially ideal for those seeking a tranquil and leisurely escape from the hustle and bustle of a big city. A trip to Mount Rokko offers a panoramic view of the Kobe cityscape and the azure sea. The avenue-lined streets of Tor West and Sakaemachi, filled with unique accessory shops and charming cafés, are perfect for a leisurely stroll, making Kobe an attractive destination for travelers seeking a quiet retreat from busy daily life.

To celebrate the launch of the new route, Jin Air is offering a 15% discount on fares through August 2. Passengers will also enjoy complimentary checked baggage up to 15 kilograms, even with discounted fares. A Jin Air representative stated, “With the addition of the direct Kobe route to our existing Kansai service, multi-city travel connecting Osaka, Kyoto, and other neighboring destinations will become much more convenient. We hope travelers will take advantage of our convenient schedule and special launch fares to experience the charms of Kobe, Japan’s attractive port city.”
