Uroko House (Former Harrier Residence)
Uroko House (Former Harrier Residence) is located in Kobe Kitano Ijinkan district, an area where Western-style residences built by foreign settlers line the hillside following the opening of Kobe Port. Of the more than 30 historic foreign residences that still remain today, Uroko House was the first to be opened to the public. It is believed to have been built in the former foreign settlement in the late Meiji period and later relocated to its current site during the Taisho era. The building is designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan and is also selected as one of Hyogo Prefecture’s Top 100 Historic Houses.
If you’re into architecture and Western-style houses, I totally recommend this place.
It’s best to combine it with the other Ijinkan nearby so the whole visit feels more complete.
This spot is just one of the stops along the way. -
Myojin Pond
Nestled quietly among coniferous forests in Kamikochi, Myojin Pond consists of "First Pond" and "Second Pond." There are two routes to the ponds, one on the left bank and the other on the right bank of the Azusa River, both of which are moderate walking courses from Kappa Bridge, taking about an hour.
The pond water is crystal clear, reflecting the surrounding mountains and forests. It's like a peaceful natural painting.

Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine
Ketsumi-mikono-okami is enshrined here. The shrine was built during the era of Japan’s 10th emperor, Sujin. Designated as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2004.
The shrine preserves the architectural style of China's Tang dynasty. It's absolutely stunning and definitely worth a visit.
