The Kitano area in Kobe is famous for its old western style residences, which were built before the war and were later converted into consulate staff residences. Until today the preserved entities are called Ijinkan in Japanese, which means ‘foreign residences’.
Approaching the Starbucks in Kitano, one can immediately sense the uniqueness of this store. Simply said, it’s an extremely beautiful and elegant western style old wooden home. It’s called Kitano Monogatari-kan and was apparently built in 1907 for an American resident named M.J. Shay. It’s said to have been passed on to a German baker, before the ownership was finally transferred to the City of Kobe after the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995. The house was moved to its current location in 2001, and in 2009 Starbucks was allowed to open a coffee shop on the premises.
