Kitano-cho is just a short walk north of Kobe, towards the mountainside, and features buildings that Western foreigners built and occupied during the 19th century. As Kobe was opened for trade, many wealthy businessmen and diplomats made their homes in this elegant suburb of Kobe. Today, much of this area has been restored to what is now a popular destination among Japanese couples who have romantic notions concerning the area's history and past occupants.
Nearest to the mountains lies a temple with great views of the city. There is also this interesting statue of a cow. It accepts donations.
Kitano-cho is also home to an abundance of cafes and restaurants. It might be a good time to get a bite to eat before heading back to the city.
