I did not explore the entire area as I arrived in the late afternoon and it was pouring on the day i was there.

However the stroll up gave me a glimpse of the area with its many quaint cafes, shops and buildings. The starbucks was the most beautiful starbucks I've even been too and it was just a wonderful experience just being the building. Would probably try to explore it again if I ever find myself in kobe again in the future ...

First, we were there and it was rainy. We bought a LOOP Bus pass for 500 yen (one day) in which one of the stops was at Kitano-cho.
Nagasaki, Kobe, Yokohama are like the three major earliest foreign settlements in Japan (correct me if I am wrong). There are well preserved western houses in this area. Good to stroll around as I found it interesting.

This place is basically a Japanese street with lots of foreigner houses of the past. There is nothing interesting in this area for the people familiar with European architecture.

Somebody said that it's difficult to walk around because of hills. City loop bus goes there, and nobody can say it's hills. It's a slightly sloped street. Foreign style houses are gathered in one street, and entering fees are extremely expensive. There are bundle tickets, but anyhow 7.5 dollar to see each house per person. We had spare time to kill, so we were there. But, not interested and never wanted to waste money for it. Even never wanted waste time there. We used loop bus again to harborland, and spent precious time in good cafe with enjoying sea view on comfortable sofa. It was our last afternoon and evening of our 8 days trip in Japan.

Living in the area, I have been to a few of these houses and for a foreigner, it's not worth paying the price of admission. There is one just a few meters from 7/11 at the top of hill which can be visited for free, with a great view and a nice museum of old Kobe photographs + an overview of the great Hanshin earthquake devastation of 20 years ago. However, if I do not recommend shelling out for entry fees, I highly recommend the area for a nice walk. Don't hesitate to go all the way to the top and you will find some trails that start up the mountain and can get you to Shin-Kobe or the Herb Garden, well worth spending an afternoon to get lost and enjoy the area !
