JAPANESE GARDEN KOBE HYOGO JAPAN WALK TOUR | SORAKUEN KOBE TRAVEL

Located in the heart of Kobe, the gate of Sourakuen transports you to another world where time moves slower. This garden was originally created for the residence of the Koderas, a family who contributed to Kobe’s development in the latter half of the 19th century, and was opened to the public in 1941. Even to this day the garden stands in contrast to other tourist attractions for its leisurely atmosphere and popularity among local Kobe residents.
Sourakuen’s charm lies in its plentiful sights condensed into grounds of approximately 20,000㎡. A short walk from the entrance you will find a 300-year old Japanese sago palm, before you lay eyes upon two Western-style buildings. Kobe, as a port city, boasts an architectural blend of Japanese and Western styles. The brickwork of the stables from the former Koderashi residence is all that remains of the original buildings; it is quite rare to find a stable in Japan of the same intricate design and scale. The second, two-storey building is the Hassam residence, which was moved to the garden from Kitano-cho, an old district with Western style buildings. Houses like this were popular among foreigners residing in Kobe from the latter half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century.
