Japan had closed the country in the Edo Age from 1633. In 1853, Edo Bakufu, Japanese feudal government headed by a Shogun, had a contract with Unites States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, France and Russia to open five harbors including Kobe. Edo Bakufu allowed foreigners of these five nations to live in a designated foreign settlement of each harbor.
Foreign Settlement in Kobe was one of foreign settlements opened in 1868.
After Foreign Settlement was closed in 1899, many western style office buildings were built in this area.
Today, this area becomes historical area in Kobe and also many fashionable companies have their stores in this area.
