Sannomiya in Kobe

I took this picture before I left Kobe on the bridge. Many people are passing by this street.. Sannomiya is the central place of Kobe.

I took this picture when I took airport bus to Kansai airport. I miss this sunny and warm day..Seoul is very cold these days..

The sign of street and shrine

I found this sign on the way to Ijinkan.Kobe jazz street~ But I couldn't find Jazz bar or something.. I'm curious why there are such sign. This was small shrine.. There are many stones which name on it. My Japanese friend told me these people was donator of this shrine.

The street of Ijinkan

The view of street.. It's peaceful and beautiful street..
Someone was getting married over there. Hmm, I envied them haha
The stairs is also beautiful.. haha
Hmm, it'll be great if I can live in this street someday. Oh, I may buy cottage in here.

The road to Ijinkan. Few people was heading to there. Ijinkan is prominent place of Kobe.

Denmark and Austria house in Ijinkan

The gate to Denmark and Austria house...Whe I entered and went forward I could two buildings. Left house was Austria. Right one was Denmark house.
This is genealogical table of Mozart.(I think) There was many remains of Austrian people and Mozart. There was sign this house's remains was donated by Austrian embassy in Japan.
This is copy of music of Mozart. haha
I took this picture in front of Austria house.
I like these old books much. I wanna have one , haha.. Of course, I didn't bring that out of this house. Someday, I wanna buy such old books and keep in my private library.

Ijinkan in Kobe

I went to Kitano Ijinkan in sunny saturday with my Japanese friend, Kota. It was smaller than my thought.. but I could enjoy european buildings and remains of it. That building was under construction.
This small fountain is located in front of Weathercock House. Some reporter was recording their program in front of this.
This is the Weathercock House.. I didn't know the name of this building at that time. I searched about this. And I could know this building constructed as the house of German trader G.Thomas in 1909, and famous for the weathercock on the steeple. Designated as a National Important Cultural Property.
This is Holland House. It was former consul-general's house. Producing unique perfume with fragrant materials from Holland. But it costs too much for few perfume. So I didn't make it.. haha I may make this when I visit Nertherland. I could saw the furnitures and rooms. Oh, there was strange bag in second floor. Many people put their coins in it. The bathtub was quite good.. haha
