What to see in Kobe, Japan?

Oppos with knowledge of Japan, please let me know what a person might enjoy about visiting Kobe, Japan (and/or surrounding areas). I have an opportunity to visit there this spring, and other than getting to experience a different culture in general, I need specifics to motivate me to deal with the logistics.

Ideas include art, gardens, food and (guess what?) cars.

However, my spouse is gluten-free, which means staying fed becomes a chore when neither of us knows the local language. And she isn’t as into cars as I am, but I may have times to explore on my own.
