  Kitano Ijinkan-gai

  Kitano Ijinkan in Kobe is a residential area for foreigners that developed after the opening of Kobe Port in 1868. Located on a hill overlooking the sea, it features a unique streetscape where Western-style buildings intermingle with traditional Japanese houses. Approximately 30 Western-style buildings still retain their original appearance, 16 of which are open to the public. Each building in the neighborhood boasts a distinctive design. These include the iconic "Kazemidori-no-Ya" (Wind-Midnight House); the "Moegi-no-Ya" (Moegi House) with its elegant pale green facade; and the "Ume-no-Ya" (Fish Scale House) with its fish-scale-like facade created from approximately 3,000 natural slate tiles. Here, visitors can not only admire the beautiful, exotic architecture and learn about the lives of foreigners in Kobe at that time, but also enjoy panoramic views of the city.
