Facility Attractions

The Kobe Guest House, with its beautiful Japanese-Western architecture, has been welcoming many distinguished guests for over 100 years on the hilltops of Suma

 

The scenic Suma is a place where you can enjoy Hyogo, a treasure trove of ingredients. Kobe Guest House was built there in 1919. The vast grounds of approximately 10,000 m2 are dotted with the Western-style main building, Japanese garden, teahouse, chapel, and new building “THE VIZCAYA GARDEN”. Its overwhelming presence and value have been recognized, and it is currently designated as an Important Tangible Cultural Property designated by Hyogo Prefecture.

 

 

A timeless Taisho modernist mansion

 

Kobe Geihinkan is a precious building that was built in 1919 by Nishio Ruizo, a wealthy trading company owner, and has been brought back to life in modern times with its interior intact. It has been designated an Important Tangible Cultural Property by the prefecture, and was once a social gathering place for VIPs from around the world. Experience the unique beauty of the building, where the Secession style that flourished in Vienna at the end of the 19th century and subtle Japanese design come together.

Venue Introduction

Phoenix Room

 

The orthodox Phoenix Room, with its Japanese charm, is the main banquet hall located on the second floor of the main building. In this elegant space, covered with a deep red carpet, the beautiful Taisho-period furnishings, such as the transom in the shape of a phoenix, which is the origin of the room’s name, the kumiko work that creates delicate shadows, and the shoji screens that highlight the craftsmanship of the artisans, create a dignified atmosphere.

 

VIP ROOM

 

A VIP room on the first floor of the main building, surrounded by a stately interior. The prestigious atmosphere of the space gives it a private feel, making it ideal for small banquets and dinner parties, allowing you to spend a relaxing and luxurious time.

 

THE VIZCAYA GARDEN

 

In addition to the spacious party space with a kitchen, you can rent out the entire building, which includes a lobby space for aperitif parties, a waiting room, a terrace, and other fully-equipped facilities.
