First Foreigner's Residence to Open to the Public

Uroko House is a luxury rental house for foreign settlers. It is also known as the “scale house” due to the natural stones decorated the outter wall that resembles fish scales. The details of the interior, antique furniture, and a collection of many famous pieces of porcelains and paintings from Europe are some of the must-sees.
Before you leave, be sure to stop by the observation area on the third floor where you can overlook the cityscape of Kobe.
