Walking Tour: Kobe City Hall and the Old Foreign Settlement
Outline
Established in 1868 at the same time as the opening of Kobe Port, Kyoryuchi allowed foreigners to live and do business freely.
Then, due to the revision of the Treaty, It was returned, it was called the“Old Foreign Settlement”. Now, we have arranged for a “Walking Tour of the Old Foreign Settlement” which hopefully would help you enjoy the cityscape with its exotic atmosphere.
You can intimately feel Kobe’s history through numerous historic sites and monuments scattered around the area.
