Step into a street filled with exotic artistic charm

Located in Kobe but very close to Osaka, the "Kitano Ijinkan Street" has long attracted crowds who love foreign aesthetics and vintage Western-style mansions. Scattered among red brick rooftops and shaded stone paths are numerous Ijinkan buildings, creating a romantic atmosphere reminiscent of strolling through a European town. The souvenirs here are particularly tasteful, especially those found in boutique shops and general stores that blend seamlessly with the Ijinkan style. Be sure to visit the "Weathercock House" souvenir shop to pick up iconic weathercock wooden carvings or nostalgic iron keychains. You’ll also find handcrafted leather notebooks with Western elements, coffee-scented candles, and small stained glass ornaments. For those who love antique styles, the flea markets and art shops here offer European-style porcelain, postcards, and Western-inspired accessories, making it a perfect "treasure-hunting" destination. Unlike Osaka’s modern urban landscape, this area allows you to take home a piece of distant European memories.
