    Located at the highest point in Kitano Ijinkan Town It was originally used as a Chinese consulate, so it is a foreigner's inn with a feel of Chinese modernism, including luxurious Chinese interiors and furniture. Admission fee is 550 yen for adults and 100 yen for children. This time, I purchased the Yamanote 4-kan Pass for 2,100 yen, which allows you to visit 4 buildings: Uroko no Ie & Observation Gallery, Kitano Foreigner Club, and Sakanoue Ijinkan. (600 yen discount) Children are 500 yen. These four buildings are built side by side, so it was easy to get around. (Only Uroko's house has a bathroom) If you've worked your way up the hill to get here, you should definitely check out these four museums.

    (Translated by Google) If you take a taxi at the hotel and ask `` to the tourist information center of Ijinkan '', it is said that `` It is difficult to go up the hill from there, so it is better to go to the top first '' and here He / she wore it. I bought a set entrance ticket from several museums here and toured, but it was a steep slope so I think it was correct. This is a Chinese hobby Ijinkan, as others have written. (Original) ホテルでタクシーに乗り、「異人館の観光案内所へ」と頼んだら、「そこから坂を上ってゆくと大変だから、最初に一番上まで行ったほうがいいよ」と言われ、こちらに着けてくれました。ここでいくつかの館のセット入場券を購入して見学しましたが、急坂だったので正解だったと思います。ここ自体は、他の方も書かれているように、中国趣味の異人館です。

    (Translated by Google) Are they different even in the Ijinkan? It is a building with an oriental atmosphere. It is interesting to notice the difference when you go around with other alien halls. Maybe come after going to another Western-style building. (Original) 異人館の中でも異質な?オリエンタルな雰囲気の建物です。続けて他の異人館と回ると、違いに気がつけて面白いです。他の洋館に行った後に来るといいかも。

    They said that this Hilltop house used to be the home for the Chinese consulate in Kobe. In my opinion, this building looks like a western building from the outside, but when you try to enter it, the atmosphere were suddenly changes to be oriental style. The relics, furniture, and even the lamps were looks like it was brought from China. I enter this place for free, using the happy memory pass.

    It seems to have been the home of a Chinese consul, and the combination of beautifully crafted Chinese furniture and Western-style buildings creates a very nice atmosphere. We also rent fans and crowns for free, so you can take memorable photos.

    (Translated by Google) It is located at the highest point in Kitano Ijinkan-gai. At the reception, I was recommended a combined ticket for the Sakanoue no Ijinkan, Kitano Foreign Club, Yamate Hachibankan, and Uroko no Ie. In addition, although the remaining three buildings were not yet open, I was told that I could enter the Ijinkan on the hill. Since it was used as a Chinese consulate for a period of time, the interior is unified with precious Chinese furniture, furnishings, and works of art. It is a foreigner's house with an oriental flavor. (Original) 北野異人館街でのもっとも高い地点にあります。受付で、坂の上の異人館・北野外国人倶楽部・山手八番館・うろこの家、の4館合同チケットを勧められました。また、残り3館はまだ開いていないが、特別に坂の上の異人館に入ってもいいと言われて入館しました。一時期中国領事館として使われていたことから、館内は中国の貴重な家具、調度品、美術品で統一されています。東洋の趣きがある異人館です。

    Very nice to walk between these big houses. You can have an amazing view of the city at the top of the hill. The price for visiting the houses is quite expensive.

  • 1/5 Lu’o’ng R. 6 years ago on Google • 280 reviews
    I don't think it is the real decoration of original building. Local government set up this theme house maybe wanna cater to the Chinese tourists. I couldn't see any special of this house. Don't waste time and money. I would like to see more Japanese content rather than this fake touristy building.

    #Kobe(Kobe) The fourth stop at Kitano Ijinkan Street, which was once the Chinese Consulate, features a mix of Chinese-style furniture and decor. Because it requires climbing uphill from the lower area, this spot tends to have fewer visitors compared to others on the street. The fourth stop of Kitano Ijinkan Street is obviously much less crowded because you need to climb up from the bottom. This room used to be the Chinese Consulate, so it is furnished with some Chinese-style furniture, furnishings, etc.

    I made a very nice sword! I highly recommend it if you are traveling nearby. However, this is not recommended for people with mobility problems or those who are not confident in their physical strength, as the slope to the site is steep and the stairs inside the local building are steep. Even small children can rent costumes and take pictures, and there will be some explanations about the history, so feel free to stop by and have fun for about an hour and a half!

    Staff are not friendly to foreigners. Disappointing destination.

    We continued to climb uphill a long way to Hilltop House, which Chinese officials used to live. The houses size and height uphills were more like those in Hokkaido, but stylish, meantime more ugly one. It's really at the hilltop; we tried hard. There were many Chinese antique furniture, exhibits and sculptures.

    This place has great views , it's worth taking the walk , nice location to spend your weekend. Don't forget to ask about the history of Kobe .

    (Translated by Google) If you want to visit all the Ijinkans in Kitano, it will take at least four hours and you have to wear good walking shoes, and you will sweat when climbing. It is KITA NO -4 (JPY 3000) for seven consecutive tickets, and you will pay for the passport and remember to stamp it. It was once used as the Chinese Consulate, and it is the only Yiren Hall with oriental characteristics, wooden furniture, dragons, phoenixes, tigers, etc., as well as artworks from the Qing Dynasty. (Original) 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。為七連票KITA NO -4(日幣3000),會付護照記得蓋章。曾被用作為中國領事館使用,是唯一一個有東方特色的異人館,木造家具龍鳳虎等還有清朝的藝術品。

    (Translated by Google) Are you Chinese? Various things were put there. Welcome to my Chinese friend's house! Do you feel that (Original) 中国人なのかな? いろんなものが置いてありました。 中国人の友人宅にようこそ! という感じですかね~
