    Hyogo Kobe-shi Nada-ku Aotanicho 1-1-4 Oji Dobutsuen Uchi
    This western-style building decorated with cresting and scrollwork building is one of the largest surviving Kobe Ijinkan (foreigner residences). It is situated in a corner of the Kobe Oji Zoo, which exhibits 130 species of animal including giant pandas and koalas. The building, which features a stone foundation and combed mortar exterior walls, was relocated from its original location in Kitano-cho in 1963. Although the exact year of its construction is unknown, it is said that a German named A. Greppi commissioned an English engineer with its construction in 1889. The home, which still conveys how extravagant it must have appeared at the time, can be toured free of charge (although there is a charge for admission to the zoo).

    王子動物園の中、奥まったところにあります。廊下がきぃきぃ言いますが、安全です。とても趣深い住宅でした。

    Hyogo Kobe-shi Higashinada-ku Sumiyoshihigashimachi 1-6-50
    "This residence was where the literary master Junichiro Tanizaki lived for seven years from 1936-1943. The attached Tanizaki Library features a collection of books, reference literature, and other items. The home, where he Tanizaki lived with his wife Matsuko and her younger sisters, inspired the setting of his masterpiece ""The Makioka Sisters"" (Sasameyuki). The world of the novel, which realistically depicted life in the home, will vividly come to life as you set foot inside. The attached library, which was built on the 20th anniversary of the home's relocation, exhibits works written in Tanizaki's own hand."

    細雪を読み始めた頃にこちらに訪問したので、後も読み進める間、具体的に風景をイメージ出来て感慨深いものがありました。一階には関係書籍も揃っていたり、当時の写真なども飾っています。

    Hyogo Kobe-shi Kita-ku Yamadacho Tsukuhara 1-4
    "This residence, also known as the Hakogi Sennenya House, was the home of a powerful family in the Muromachi period. Traditionally believed to have been constructed during between 806 and 810, the home is said to be the oldest surviving private house in Japan. Due to the construction of Donto Dam in 1977, the home relocated from its original location slightly northwest of its current location. At the time of the survey conducted before the home was dismantled, it had a floor plan called ""Seikei Mutsumadori"" that is comprised of six rooms and an earth-floored area. However, it was later separated into two buildings sometime in the late Edo period. These two buildings were transferred to the new location and reconstructed. The museum located inside the storehouse features exhibits including agricultural implements used at the time as well as a model of the home."

    桜の季節におとずれました。 かなり大規模な古民家で、屋根の上の押さえも立派で格式あるものでした。 つくはら湖に面しているので、どんとダムとのセットで行くと良いです。

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
