Kobe Sightseeing Foreigner's Residence District【Travel to Japan】

The Kobe Kitano Ijinkan District consists of a collection of Western-style houses built by foreign residents who lived in Kobe from the mid-Meiji era through the early Showa era. These residences symbolize Kobe's international atmosphere and offer visitors a taste of an exotic, foreign ambiance. As Kobe flourished as one of Japan's leading international ports, many foreign merchants and diplomats built homes in their native architectural styles on the hills of Kitano. The district is popular among tourists as a rare area where one can experience this unique culture and history firsthand. #JapanTravel #JapanTourism BGM/Music: Tune Library
