Why You Should Visit

A small-group learning walk in Kobe's Kitano district for children from 4th grade to junior-high age, run by the bilingual KIPS Learning Hub. Rather than following a set route to find answers, children wander the streets of old Western residences and slopes, photographing and noting whatever makes them wonder or want to tell someone. Back at the hub they turn their finds into their own "Kitano Guide" in English, Japanese, drawings or photos — whichever suits them — before presenting it to parents. Bilingual staff accompany them throughout; about 8–10 places.

Essentials

There are 12 car parks within a 12-minute walk of KIPS Learning Hub (WALL SQUARE Kitanozaka), Kobe, and 2 public restrooms within 8 minutes. The map shows each with its walking time.

Facility data comes from OpenStreetMap. It does not include opening hours, fees or availability.

TICKETS / REGISTRATION
Advance booking required (grades 4–9, about 8–10 places) via the form on KIPS Learning Hub's event page. Meeting details and what to bring are sent to applicants.
