A Starbucks housed in the "Kitano Monogatari", a Registered Tangible Cultural Property and a historic foreign residence.
Situated in Kobe Kitano Ijinkan district, where many former residences of Westerners are located, this Starbucks store is a prime example of Starbucks Regional Landmark Stores initiative. These stores are architecturally designed to symbolize various regions in Japan, aiming to broadcast local cultures to the world.
The Starbucks itself makes use of "Kitano Monogatari", a two-story wooden western-style mansion built in 1907. The mansion was once disassembled, but in 2000, it was reconstructed in its current location and registered as a Tangible Cultural Property.
The wooden Starbucks logo at this store is a unique design, found only here. Inside the store, original elements such as doors and flooring from the era have been preserved, creating a space with a distinct character. The interior is divided into several rooms - a lounge, dining room, guest room, and more. Each room features furnishings that match its character, allowing visitors to enjoy different atmospheres. Find your favorite spot and indulge in a drink or dessert.
The white and green hues of the Registered Tangible Cultural Property create a refreshing western-style mansion ambiance.
Inside, the tastefully arranged furnishings make for a relaxed and comfortable setting.

星巴客很擅長將這種有形的文化建築見改建為咖啡館，這間就是用1907年所建的木造兩層樓洋館・北野物語改裝而成，很有歷史意義，來到此特別休息一下喝杯咖啡!
異人館熱門景點之一。
