Cool Starbucks store - Kobe Kitano Ijinkan

Kobe



Kobe has a long history as a port town where various cultures have come together to create a rich international flavor. In addition, Kobe was heavily damaged by the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake that occurred on January 17, 1995. However, thanks to the prompt restoration construction, it was completely restored as it were.


Ijinkan


Kobe port was opened to foreign country in 1868, the end of Edo period. After that, the foreign consulates and settlements were constructed in Kobe. Especially, there are many  luxurious houses of consuls and rich traders in Kitano, it is located the foot of Rokko Mt in Kobe. "Ijinkan" means the luxurious house of foreigner.




This Starbucks store was "Ijinkan" of American trader and restored after damaged by the earthquake. It has seven rooms; the dining room, guest room and lounge, and we can enjoy the various interior of each room.





Location


Kobe is located almost in the center in Japan. It blessed with nature beauty such as Mt. Rokko and Seto Inland Sea is known as the gourmet; Kobe beef and Nada Japanese sake.
Unfortunately, Kobe beef is very expensive even for Japanese but there are many good restaurants. When you have a chance to go to Kyoto or Osaka, you should visit to Kobe too.
