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
