A residential area near heaven where foreigners lived / Walk around the residential area near heaven Kobe Shioya (Hyogo Prefecture)

Shioyacho in Tarumi Ward, Kobe City, is the closest place to the sea in Kobe City, where Mt. Rokko stretches to the west and drops into the Seto Inland Sea. An old residential area has been formed on a hill overlooking the Seto Inland Sea.

Let's start with Shioyacho 2-chome in the east. This is a place where the mountains are right on the sea, and the JR Sanyo Main Line (Kobe Line), National Route 2, and Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line run on a small flat area. The "Sakaigaoka" residential area, developed on a steep slope, was probably built after the war. It can only be accessed by one roadway that crosses the Sanyo Electric Railway railroad crossing and two sidewalks. Since all of "Sakaigaoka" is privately owned and privately owned roads, entry is prohibited to anyone other than those involved, but it is a very intriguing residential area like heaven. From Shioyacho 3-chome to 6-chome, many Western-style buildings where foreigners lived before the war remain, and the residential areas developed afterwards are lined with luxurious mansions, making it a popular tourist spot for walking around the city. Among them, Shioya Shopping Street in front of Sanyo Shioya Station is a shopping street in an old residential area, and it is a space where shops have gradually permeated the residential area. There are retro cafes in the narrow alleys, and it is a very mysterious shopping street.
