[4k]Hyogo Walk / Walking in the Slope Area of Kitano, Kobe

Kobe’s Kitano area is renowned for its picturesque hills lined with historic Western-style houses known as Ijin-kan, or “Foreign Residences.”
These elegant buildings were constructed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the area became a designated foreign settlement after Japan opened its doors to the world.
Today, many of these beautifully preserved mansions are open to the public, offering a glimpse into the lifestyle and culture of the early foreign residents.
Visitors can explore the interior spaces, furnished with period antiques and decor, or relax in charming cafes and restaurants housed within these historic buildings.
The area’s unique blend of Western architecture and Japanese scenic beauty is particularly captivating in spring and autumn, when the gardens are in full bloom.
A stroll through Kitano’s sloping streets provides not only stunning views of Kobe but also an unforgettable experience of Japan’s rich cultural heritage and cosmopolitan history.
