[2025 Kobe Attraction] Travel Guide for Starbucks Coffee - Kobe Kitano Ijinkan (Updated Apr)

Store: Starbucks Coffee Kobe Kitano Ijinkan Address: Kitano Monogatarikan, 3-1-31 Kitano-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo Business hours: 08:00-22:00 I visited first thing in the morning. The staff were friendly and kind, saying, "The second floor is also nice, so please feel free to take photos now that there are no people around!" Thank you! I enjoyed the atmosphere of each floor and room. It seems to be a historical building designated as a national registered tangible cultural property, and I felt like I was invited to a tea time with the upper class in the past. Recommended for sightseeing in Kobe, Sannomiya, and Motomachi ☺️ #Kobe sightseeing #Kobe #Gourmet #Starbucks Coffee Kobe Kitano Ijinkan #Starbucks #Food #Cafe #Coffee #Ijinkan #Instagrammable #Couple trip #Girls trip #Kobe cafe #starbucks Feel like you're invited to a tea party

I liked the quietness that was different from Dotonbori! I stopped by because I wanted to see Sherlock Holmes' house the most, and they had Sherlock Holmes costumes and magnifying glasses for taking pictures, so I was able to have more fun :) #JapanTravel #KitanoIjinkan

"Hold your matcha lattes, guys—I *have* to talk about the **Starbucks Kitano Ijinkan**! Nestled in a stunning 1907 Western-style mansion, this isn’t your average coffee stop. Imagine ordering a caramel macchiato under vintage chandeliers, surrounded by stained-glass windows and original wooden staircases. It’s like Hogwarts meets coffee culture! **✨ Why This Starbucks is a Must-Visit:** ➡️ **History Meets Hustle:** The building was once a diplomat’s home, and Starbucks preserved its Taisho-era glam. Snap a pic of the grand fireplace or the leafy courtyard—it’s *the* most aesthetic Starbucks in Japan (and that’s saying something!). ➡️ **Exclusive Treats:** They serve Kobe-inspired sweets! I tried the *Kobe Pudding* (creamy, caramelized perfection) paired with a sakura latte. Limited-edition merch alert: grab a tumbler with the mansion’s weathercock logo! ➡️ **Vibe Check:** Despite the crowds, the vibe is chill. Go early or weekdays to snag a velvet sofa seat. Pro tip: Head to the 2nd-floor balcony for a quiet moment with views of the cobblestone streets. **📸 How I Fitted It Into My Day:** After touring the Weathercock House, I refueled here—because nothing says “time travel” like espresso in a 100-year-old parlor. Later, I spotted locals grabbing iced coffees to-go while tourists lingered for photos. It’s a weirdly perfect blend of global and hyper-local! **💭 My Take:** Yes, it’s a Starbucks, but it’s *also* a cultural landmark. Whether you’re a coffee addict or a design nerd, this spot bridges Kobe’s past and present. And honestly? Sipping a latte here made me appreciate how Japan effortlessly weaves modernity into history. **📍 Added to My Map:** #CoffeeWithAView #StarbucksButMakeItHistoric

📍Japan 〒650-0002 Hyogo, Kobe, Chuo Ward, Kitanocho, 3 Chome−1−31 北野物語館 I visited Starbucks Coffee Kitano Ijinkan, which boasts an old-fashioned atmosphere!! They say it reopened after renovation in 2023, so I want to visit again!! #JulyTravelSupportEvent #Kobe

This is one of the series of magnificent sceneries I saw in Japan, by taking the train and bus. The destination of this month is... Kobe, which is full of tourist attractions! All photos are only taken by public transportation! You can tour without driving 🚃 From next month, I will focus on Luminarie held in January, as well as the famous Onsen (hot spring), and Mountain known for its art, and popular Starbucks branches, etc., this is the route I actually spent 2 days and 1 night walking. My favorite memory is overlooking the Luminarie from the business hotel where I happened to stay, it was really great...✨

One of Japan's most distinctive cafes is located near the Kobe Hall of Fame, called Kitano Story House. This century-old building was transformed into a concept coffee shop by Star Dad in 2009. It is said that Starbucks first entered the old building of more than 100 years of history. A lot of people come to punch in the photo, but the price of coffee is relatively similar to that in China. Let's order a drink. Per capita: 35 yuan how to the end: Google search for the Kitano Story Museum
