The Kobe International House (Kokusai Kaikan) is famous for hosting concerts, plays, and shows, but the building houses many other things: cute stores to shop in, restaurants, cooking classes, exercise classes, and a movie theater that plays English films as well as Japanese. The Starbucks on the first floor and stores on B1 seem to be the main areas where people flow into, but the open garden on the 11th floor has always been my favorite part of the building. Be sure to stop by if you're in Sannomiya.
