HyogoArchitectureKobe
Sake Breweries of Nada
Japan's greatest sake district; the wooden brewhouses that survived the earthquake are now open as museums.
HyogoArchitectureHimeji
Himeji Castle
Japan's first World Heritage castle: walls and even tile joints sealed in white plaster, the great keep flanked by three lesser ones.
Tanba-Sasayama
Sasayama Historic District
A castle town with two preservation districts, one merchant and one samurai, its shops presenting gable ends to the street.
HyogoArchitectureAshiya
Yodoko Guest House
One of only four Wright buildings left in Japan and the only house, its Oya stone carved in continuous geometric bands.
HyogoArchitectureToyooka
Izushi Town and Ware
A castle town of grid streets, and a porcelain so white that its patterns are cut into the body rather than painted on.
HyogoArchitectureToyooka
Kinosaki Onsen
Inns were kept small and baths kept public, so the street works as the corridor of one large shared building.
HyogoArchitectureAsago
Takeda Castle Ruins
Only the stonework survives on a 353-metre summit - the outline of a castle drawn in stone along a ridge.
HyogoArchitectureAwaji
Water Temple, Honpukuji
Stairs descend through the middle of a lotus pond into a hall beneath the water, its vermilion interior filled by the setting sun.
HyogoArchitectureAwaji
Awaji Yumebutai
Built where a hill was quarried away for landfill: a hundred stepped flower beds attempting to remake the destroyed terrain.
HyogoArchitectureTatsuno
Tatsuno Soy Sauce Town
Where light soy sauce was invented; white-walled brewhouses line the river and make the town's face.
Kobe
Port Architecture of Kobe
The old foreign settlement keeps its office blocks, most now reinforced after the earthquake but outwardly unchanged.
Toyooka
Thatched Houses of Tajima and Tamba
Farmhouses whose roofs were raised for silkworms; snow load and the worms' temperature together set the shape.
HyogoArchitectureSumoto
Former Spinning Mills of Sumoto
A brick spinning mill converted into a library and shops - a case of industrial reuse.
Kobe
Churches of Kobe
Churches of many denominations arrived with the port; many fell in 1995, and their rebuilding shows its own era.
HyogoArchitectureHimeji
Kokoen Garden
Nine separate gardens divided by earthen walls, laid over the excavated foundations of samurai houses.
Nishiwaki
Saw-Tooth Mills of Nishiwaki
Roofs shaped to catch even north light for weaving, running along the river - form dictated by the trade.
