Kitano Ijinkan-gai - Second Stop: Kitano Ijinkan Street (approximately 1 hour for free exploration)
During the Meiji and Taisho periods, Kobe became home to many Western-style buildings. The Kitano area in Chuo Ward preserves this heritage most authentically. Walk along Kitano Street to view foreign merchants’ private residences and former consulates, some of which have been converted into museums or cafes. This charming area, filled with boutique shops and flower stores, resembles a quaint European town, making it ideal for a scenic walk.
Starbucks Kitano Ijinkan Store:
Situated in a restored 1907 Western-style house, this Starbucks is Japan’s first “concept store” within a historical building. Initially an American’s private residence, it was later rebuilt after the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake and recognized as a national tangible cultural property in 2009.
Recommended Attractions: Weathercock House/Moegi House/Fish-Scale House
