😐 You can see the exterior by paying the entrance fee. I wanted to see it once, it's a nice building. It's a heart-breaking climb to get here, so if it's summer, we recommend heading there first thing in the morning. People often mention Kobe, beautiful, museum,

    The scale house is the main one, and this is a bonus position. It might be a good idea to go in early to commemorate the visit.

    If you've come this far, you'll want to go inside because it's in a good location on a hill even among other Ijinkans. The admission fee is a notoriously expensive 1,050 yen. Perhaps because of this, I think the maintenance of furniture and gardens is the best. There are discount tickets for 3 or 5 theaters, so you may find it more reasonable to combine them. However, even if you visit multiple theaters, Uroko no Ie is the most distinctive and there is no big difference from the others, so I felt that a single theater ticket was the most reasonable in terms of time and cost. At the very least, I would like to see other themed museums such as the British pavilion included in the three-pavilion ticket. Also, although it was built with an art museum attached, there was nothing that would be of interest to tourists. The only advantage is that you can climb the tower.

    Uroko House is the oldest of the Yamate Ijinkan. The adjacent building is now an art museum. As an art museum, the view of the city of Kobe from the observation floor on the second floor is worth a visit. At the hot dog shop adjacent to the courtyard, you can enjoy light meals and Kobe beer.

    #Kobe(Kobe) Finally, you've reached the last stop, a place where you can overlook the entire city of Kobe. It's also a famous filming location for the popular anime series Fate. While the climb might be a bit tiring, it's definitely worth it. We finally came to the last stop, which is a place where you can overlook the entire city of Kobe. It is also the filming location of the famous anime Fate🤩. Although it is a little tiring to climb up, it is still very worth it.

    This is a beautiful old house in a picturesque neighborhood. The rooms are well decorated with antiques, and the view of Kobe from here is beautiful. However, the entrance fee of 1050 yen is too much since it only takes about 30 minutes to see everything.

    うろこの家 was an isle west of 山手八番馆. It was a beautiful castle-shaped house, covered in a natural stone called slate, making it resembled the scales of a fish. It also had a large square garden. The view here was great to overlook the city and harbour. However, the Observation Gallery next to it provided a much more vast overlook. People said eyesight could reach Osaka. There were many modern, Japanese painting exhibited on all floor. We sat for really a while on the top floor and felt the city and sunlight shed in—what a charming town.

    This is a very beautiful house located in an upscale residential area where Germans and other foreigners lived in the past. It was very impressive because what had existed in the past remained in its original form. Walking around here feels like taking a mini trip to Europe, so it's a lot of fun.

    It's an art museum adjacent to Kitano Ijinkan's Scale Museum, but it's not very interesting. I think the museum is irresistible for people who like Western tableware.

    若要將北野全部的異人館參觀完,至少四小時且要穿好走的鞋子,爬坡也會流汗。魚鱗之家與魚鱗美術館為七連票KITA NO -1(日幣3000),特點是天然板岩的外牆,目前一樓是雕刻藝術品,二三樓都是油畫展覽,三樓有很大的觀景台,值得一看。

    きれいなお庭と素晴らしい洋風建築でしたが、中国人観光客がうるさかった。
