Why You Should Visit
Old shop signs, market arcades, doorways in the alleys — a photo exhibition of Kobe's slowly disappearing streetscapes, gathered on foot. See them while they are still there; go meet that person while you still can. Four framed works hang on the walls, and about 30 small prints are suspended in the tatami corner of the bar. The venue is a cafe (Kissa Stern) by day and a bar (FoodBar ENDS) by night, so you can take your time over coffee or a drink.
