It is common to see that the wind vane on the roof will be adapted to the direction of the wind because of the shape of the chicken on the roof. And get the name. The red brick-and-wood structure is just across the ramp from the Menghuang Pavilion, where many tourists take pictures. Beiye Tianman Shrine next to it is a good angle to shoot the Wind Seeing Chicken House. It was a well-maintained building during the Meiji period. You can also see many precious old photos, and you can visit them if you are interested.

    One of the attractions of the Beiye Identical Hall can pay for the old residence of foreigners with a ticket of 500. Some furniture is reserved. It is very beautiful. There is a light food shop nearby. I am tired of sitting down and eating ice cream. It feels very good.

    Kobe is also a livable city, and was named the world's cleanest 25 cities by Forbes magazine in 2007, and then ranked fifth in the world livable city rankings by Swiss consultancy ECA International in 2012. It is the only Japanese city to be selected in the top 10.

    The reason why it is named is because there is a metal wind at the spire on the outer wall, which will turn with the wind. The building was built in 1909 and was originally a German merchant's mansion. Compared to the small freshness of the Menghuang Pavilion, the wind-seeing chicken Pavilion is relatively luxurious and has a European noble atmosphere.

    The most famous of the Beiye Yiren Hall is the wind to see the chicken. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the subway Sangong Station, and all the way up to the main road of Beiye Yiren Hall, you can see the striking red building. Fengjian chicken will be adapted to the direction of the wind because of the chicken shape of the bird on the roof. And the name. The red brick and wooden structure building is diagonally opposite the Menghuangzhi Hall, and many tourists take pictures here. The Beiye Tianman Shrine next to it is a good angle for shooting the wind and the chicken restaurant. There are some places selling handwriting and food next to the chicken, you can stroll around, some only Kobe can buy, so if you like it, you don't have to worry about it. I bought a cute glass wind here to see the chicken cup mat and the Q version of the mobile phone chain with Yin Soul Lia Yin and Kobe Tower together, a total of 1,950 yen, and finally lost it. Opposite the store there are Kobe pudding and royalce cooperation puddings sold, as well as Kobe annual cakes, classic gold prize Kobe pudding is delicious, the price is good, the packaging is not bad, you can buy it back to make a hand letter.

    When you arrive in Kobe City, you will definitely arrange a trip to the Kitano Ieno Pavilion, so Fengjian Chicken Pavilion is one of the main landscapes to visit. The alien is actually the Japanese name for foreigners at that time, which means that people who look different. Therefore, the architectural style is Western-style architecture. Kobe is a port that Japan has opened to the outside world, so there are more foreigners, leaving a lot of Western-style culture and architecture. There is an iron cock on the roof of the house, which is used to observe the wind direction and wind speed. So named Fengjian Chicken House, the glass window balcony inside I especially like, very beautiful, very tasteful. You can buy a joint ticket for Fengjian Chicken Restaurant and Menghuangzhi Restaurant. It is more cost-effective. I can’t go in and see if I’m not very bad... Buy a bus ticket for a day trip to Kobe City. The attractions in Kobe City can be played all the way. Basically, every attraction has a station to arrive. There are also special bus route maps for you to refer to.
