I used to live in Kobe, within a minutes walk from the England House, one of the former foreign mansions, known as Ijinkan, in the Kitano district. Some of the houses have been converted into museums, as it is the case with the so-called English House. It is a typical colonial-style Western house and it also houses a unique English-style bar on the first floor, which is not to miss! On the second floor you can then visit the Sherlock Holmes' Room, a replica of the fictional detective's room—it really adds to the typical English atmosphere, which is otherwise pretty rare in Japan.
