    (Translated by Google) Former Kobe City Textile Inspection Center. A place to send out proposals and information that enriches life in Kobe with design. The 1st floor is the hall / public relations office and cafe, the 2nd floor is the material exhibition and library of the former Silk Inspection Center, and the 4th floor is the office. I thought it was suitable for utilizing valuable modern architecture, but I didn't know its existence until I came here. "Not only some artists and designers, but also various people and generations will interact and create a new Kobe with the ideas and ingenuity that are born from it." However, the purpose is as much as their activity report. It didn't look like it was promoting. The exhibition of materials from the Raw Silk Inspection Center on the 2nd floor is monotonous and uninteresting. The library is also lacking in ingenuity, but the space is extremely comfortable. I don't want to teach people in Kobe's best-known spots, including buildings and cafes. (Original) 旧神戸市立生糸検査所。 デザインで生活を神戸を、豊かにする提案と情報を発信する場。 1Fはホール・広報室とカフェ、2Fは旧生糸検査所の資料展示とライブラリー、4Fはオフィス。 貴重な近代建築の活用としては相応しいと思いましたが、此処へ来るまでその存在も知りませんでした。 「一部のアーティストやデザイナーだけでなく、さまざまな人や世代が交流し、そこから生まれるアイデアや工夫で新しい神戸を作っていく。」とありましたが、自分達の活動報告ほどにはその趣旨をPRしている様には見えませんでした。 2Fの生糸検査所資料展示も物語りがなく単調で興味が湧かない。ライブラリーも資料の工夫が足らないがスペースは最高に居心地が良い。 建物、カフェも含めて神戸のとっておきの穴場で人に教えたくない。

    (Translated by Google) Former Kobe Municipal Raw Thread Inspection Center Eiji Shimizu (Kobe Municipal Repair Department) Chuo Ward, Kobe City 1927 Originally a facility that inspects raw silk for export.

    (Translated by Google) Former raw yarn inspection station. A facility that embodies the Kobe design city. It's surprisingly free on weekdays. It can also be used for telework. (Original) 旧生糸検査所。神戸デザイン都市を体現する施設。平日は驚くほど空いてる。テレワークにも使える。

    (Translated by Google) almost first Kobe creative, design and I try to visit things with names It used to be a paper mill kiito, as much as raw silk The inside looks like a shared office Each company explanation card is unified Easy to see and fashionable but the cafe was closed Sightseeing, people who are visiting Kobe Even if you come here, you may not be able to stay that long. (There was a glimpse of a cute shop) Fun to see as a reference property Efforts so far A booklet summarizing annual events (back number) because you can bring back It was very interesting from that point of view. (Original) ほぼ初神戸 クリエイティブ、デザインと 名のつくものは訪れるようにしてます もとは製紙工場だったそうで kiito、生糸になるほど 中はシェアオフィスぽくて 各会社説明カードが統一してあって 見やすく、おしゃれ でもカフェが閉まってたので 観光、神戸に遊びにきてる人は ぽっと来てもそんなに滞在できないかも (かわいいショップはちらっとありました) 参考物件としてみるには楽しい 今までの取り組みや 年間の催しをまとめた冊子(バックナンバー) を持ち帰れるので そういう観点ではなかなか面白かったです

    (Translated by Google) A stylish hall that seems to have been renovated. The location is about 1 km from Sannomiya Station, so it takes about 20 minutes on foot. pretty nice (Original) リノベーションした様なお洒落なホール。場所が三ノ宮駅から約1キロなので歩いて約20分。かなり素敵です

    (Translated by Google) It is a creative center that is rare in Kansai. Not only the exhibition facilities but also the place to stay was abundant and comfortable. I wish I could telework in a place like this. There are few exhibits and it was quiet now, but I would like to visit again when there are more events. (Original) 関西では珍しい、クリエイティブセンターです。展示施設だけでなく、居場所が豊富で居心地が良かったです。 こんな場所でテレワークができたらなぁと思いました。 今は展示の数が少なく静かでしたが、またイベントが増えた頃に伺いたいです。

    It's a library (with interesting seatings layout) with some exhibition, and activity rooms for the locals (eg art class, reading group etc). Not so many place to seat and relax despite the spacious area. Recommended for families with kids to relax and read books; there's a playroom cum reading area for kids

    (Translated by Google) I went to the library. "The chairs are new and cute." The staff calmly helped me find a book. I would like to go again, but it's a little far away. It's quite far from Sannomiya Station, and there's a lot of traffic nearby, so you have to cross a pedestrian bridge! Even walking on flat ground hurts my back, so climbing a pedestrian bridge is tough. But since I went in the evening, the coffee shop was closed, so I would like to go back and try the coffee shop again. (Original) 図書館へ行きました。 椅子が新しくて可愛い。 本を探すお手伝いを職員さんが穏やかにしてくださいました。また行きたいとは思いますが、一寸遠いですね。 三宮駅から大分遠くなり、車の交通量が多い場所が近くにあるので歩道橋を渡らなければいけないとか! 平地を歩いていても腰が痛むので歩道橋を登るのはキツイですね。でも夕方に行ったので喫茶店が終わっていて、もう一度行って喫茶店にも入ってみたいと思います。

    (Translated by Google) Lunch is also available at KIITO CAFE. A water content tester for raw silk is left in the room and is used as a speaker. The calm atmosphere is soothing. (Original) KIITO CAFEではランチもいただける。 室内には生糸の水分量検査器が残されて、スピーカーとして利用されている。 落ち着いた雰囲気が心が休まる。

    (Translated by Google) Although it is a little far from Sannomiya, there is a relatively large parking lot next to a nearby golf course, which is convenient as a place to go by car. I went there for the first time for an event, but the building has a library and a coffee shop, and the retro building is nice, so it might be good when you want to relax away from the city. When the season is nice, it would be nice to walk in a straight line from Sannomiya to the front of the city hall while enjoying the greenery and flowers. (Original) 三ノ宮から多少離れるが、近くのゴルフ場横に比較的大きな駐車場あり、車で行ける場所として便利。イベントで初めて行ったが、館内は図書館、喫茶店もあり、建物がレトロで素敵なので都心から離れて寛ぎたい時に良いかも。季節の良い時は三ノ宮から市役所前を一直線にぶらり歩き緑や花を見ながら散策してながら訪れるのも良さそう。

    (Translated by Google) I visited the pop-up store of an acquaintance's designer for the first time. It was a wonderful place with an artistic space, although it had a very profound feeling. I would like to visit again if I have the opportunity. (Original) 知人のデザイナーさんのポップアップストアがこちらでありましたので初めて伺いました。 凄い重厚感がある中ですがアーティスティックな空間もあり素敵な場所でした。 また機会があれば訪れてみたいですね。

    (Translated by Google) * Because I am physically handicapped, I will review the steps I wanted to know before I went. Other people have written a lot of information other than barrier-free. There are two entrances, and the Internet search results say "barrier-free", but one entrance is barrier-free, but the other entrance is actually a staircase. The stairs are quite high (it is dangerous to lift the wheelchair while the person is on it), and the handrails have only thin iron rods on both sides. It's not a sturdy railing. When you enter the back of the building, there is a room like a conference room, but there is also a small step or a slight slope at the entrance. Since the hall is quite large and deep, it will take a lot of effort for people with physical disabilities to move around the hall. (Original) ※私は身体が不自由な為、自分が行く前に知りたかった段差のクチコミをさせて頂きます。 バリアフリー以外の情報は他の方々がかなり書き込んでくださっているので。入口2ヶ所あり、インターネット検索結果では「バリアフリー」と書かれていますが 片方の入口はバリアフリーですが もう片方の入口は実際は階段。 かなり一段一段の高さがある階段(車椅子を本人さんが乗った状態で持ち上げて上がろうとするのは危険な高さ)で手すりは鉄でできた細い棒が両側にあるのみ。 頑丈な手すりではないです。 建物内奥に入ると会議室のような部屋がありますが、そこの入口にも小さな段差 もしくは軽い傾斜があります。 館内かなり広く 奥行がある為身体が不自由な方は館内を移動するのはかなりの労力がいると思います。
