This is a rare house among the foreign-style houses that can be viewed for free! It is not as flashy as Ben's House, the Italian House, or the Western-style Tenement House, but it has a refined and calm atmosphere. 😉👍✨ The name "Rhine House" was chosen from a nickname contest held by local residents, and the winner said that it was because "the horizontal lines of the clapboards of this house are beautiful." It is also said that the name was chosen after the Rhine River in Germany, where Mr. Oberlein lived just before the city of Kobe purchased the house, so it seems to have two meanings! ✨️ #0 yen trip January 2025

This is the Rhein House in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture. Most Kitano Ijinkan require an admission fee, but this one is free! The interior of the building is very beautiful and has a strong Western-style structure. There are toilets and souvenir shops, so it's definitely a place you should visit when you visit the Kitano Ijinkan! 📍Rhein House 〒650-0002 Rhein House, 2-10-24 Kitano-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo #0 yen trip
