I took a boat from Yanagawa to visit here. The blend of Japanese and Western styles in the residence is really beautiful and unique.

Sorakuen Garden
Located in the heart of Kobe yet wrapped in tranquil greenery, Sorakuen is a Japanese garden that offers an atmosphere of deep serenity. Originally built in the late Meiji era as the garden of Taijiro Kodera’s residence, it was donated to the city after World War II and opened to the public. Designed as a traditional pond-strolling garden, it features waterfalls, streams, and gently shaped hills, all arranged to harmonize with the natural landscape.
The pond, wooden bridges, and stone lanterns create a really nice atmosphere. It doesn't get super crowded like some big tourist spots, so it's really comfortable to walk around.

Kushida Shrine
This head shrine is said to have been built in the 8th century. Residents in Hakata call it “Okushida san.” Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival declares the arrival of summer to the City of Hakata in July, and is dedicated to this shrine.
The nearby shops sell grilled mochi that's crispy on the outside and soft inside—so delicious!
