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.
