For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Since Starbucks opened in Seattle, Washington in 1971, the coffee chain has expanded all over the world. Starbucks, such an international coffee chain, also has world-class specialty stores in Japan.

For example, there is a concept shop with pools and wisteria racks in the courtyard of Kamakura, and a hexagonal store in Kyoto where the temple view can be seen through the glass curtain. Or the Taizaifu Tianmangong Shendao store designed by the well-known architect Kengo Kengo, or even the Starbucks Coffee Kyoto three Bridges store overlooking Kyoto rivers, and so on, such a wonderful and moving shop. There's a lot going on.

However, among the popular Starbucks stores around the world, do you know the Starbucks store that is made of historic buildings and which Japan is proud of? This store is located in the exotic seaport city of ── Kobe.

The Kitano District, which has many ramps and is full of leisurely customs, is dotted with many European and American mansions known as "Inhumans Pavilions." These "inhuman pavilions" are now used as museums or wedding ceremonies, preserved in various forms. Among them, there is a "Inhumans Pavilion", which is the Starbucks store that I would like to introduce to you this time, using the "Kitano Story" to create today's "Starbucks Kobe Bei Ye Inhumans Hotel".

You can experience a different feeling from Starbucks in this store, which is one of the concept stores.

After landing in Kitano Saka, the bright building in contrast between white and green is the Kitano Museum. The Starbucks logo is familiar at present, but it is a wooden sign specially made for our store.

Tourists who pass by will stop to admire the buildings or take pictures, and now the Starbucks store has become a new landmark in Kitano district. Kitano Museum is a two-story wooden house built in 1907 (Meiji 40). This historic building has been designated as the tangible cultural property registered by the state.

At that time, the construction of Kitano Museum was an American M.J. Xie all, and then everyone became Heinrich Burgmayer, that is, the original character of the protagonist of the NHK morning TV series "Wind Chicken". The building was then inherited by his son Freundlieb, so the building is also known as the "Freundlieb old mansion".

The subsequent Hanshin Akashi earthquake caused serious damage to the building, which had been planned to be demolished, but because the owner donated the building to Kobe, it was rebuilt at the current site in 2001 after proper disintegration and safekeeping. Then, in 2009, it became the "Starbucks Kobe Kitano Inhumans Store", which has been open to this day.

As it faithfully recreates the construction scene of 1907 at that time, as soon as you step into the store, you will have the feeling of traveling back to the past. The store is equipped with antique furniture and daily necessities that can feel the atmosphere at that time. Compared with ordinary Starbucks stores, you can enjoy a higher level of elegant coffee here.

The living room and guest room remain the same at that time, and each room is equipped with suitable daily necessities, so you can enjoy different atmosphere in different rooms. Such as a luxurious living room with a large oval table, a fashionable waiting room with beautiful photos and sketches, or a quiet guest room with many foreign language books stacked. Each room is different and interesting, even if it's just a tour.

In this space where all kinds of interesting patterns are gathered, please look for your favorite places. The coffee time spent in an exotic alien restaurant must have made this familiar Starbucks drink particularly delicious.
