Take a stroll through the Kitano Ijin Street District and experience the European style of Kobe.

Kobe's Kitano Ijin Street District has become a romantic landmark in the hearts of tourists with its unique exotic style. There are many 19th-century Western buildings here, which combine Japanese culture with European style. Walking in the winding alleys, it feels like stepping into a European town.

✨ **Recommendation**
1. **Fusion of foreign cultures**: This is not only the art of architecture, but also a microcosm of the lifestyle of foreign merchants at that time, showing the unique charm of Japan's international port city.
