Walking uphill from Motomachi Station, you'll find the Hyogo Prefectural Guesthouse, which was once used as the Hyogo Prefectural Government building.
Although the building was almost completely destroyed in the Kobe air raids of the Pacific War, except for the outer walls, the interior has been reconstructed and is now open to the public on limited days.
Benches are placed on the sidewalk west of the Hyogo Prefectural Guesthouse.
