Along Kitano-dori, which leads to Kitano Ijinkan, is Sanbonmatsu Fudo-in Temple, and next to it is a plaza.

This spot is called Kitano Sanbonmatsu Plaza. There are two benches that can seat four people each at the back.
If you look closely behind the benches, you'll find a cute copper statue of a squirrel.

Since this area is full of slopes, it's a convenient rest spot to remember when you get tired from exploring Kitano Ijinkan.

So, why not use it as a place to take a break around Shin-Kobe Station?
