Kitano Ijinkan 北野町山本通・異人館

Kitanozaka slope goes to the Kitano-cho area of Western homes built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many are very well-preserved and open to the public. This one has Starbucks. 北野坂（奥に北野物語館）

The main square in Kitano-cho. Most of the homes charge admission. It's cheaper to buy a set of tickets to see multiple homes. Most of the major homes have a ticket booth selling these ticket sets.

Weathercock House, built in 1909, is one of the main Western homes open to the public in Kobe's Kitano-cho. 旧トーマス住宅

This Kitano area is also a National Important Traditional Townscape Preservation District (重要伝統的建造物群保存地区).

So named because of a weathercock (rooster) on the spire.

Jazz sculptures accent the Kitano-cho area.
