A historic district in Kobe known for its Ijinkan—Western-style residences built by foreign settlers after the port opened in the 19th century. Some houses have been turned into museums, cafés, or boutiques. Located on a hillside, the area offers lovely city views and a unique European atmosphere rarely found in Japan.

💴 Entrance fee: Free to walk around / Around ¥500–750 per house visited
👥 Tourist level: Moderately touristy – appreciated for its unique charm and peaceful vibe.
