After doing a loop of the places you can visit for free, I went to the ones that charge admission.

The English House

You can do Sherlock Holmes cosplay here. The set is done pretty well.

Whisky bar

So they have this kind of thing too..

From afar..

So this is what an English bar looks like, I guess..

English garden

Nicely done.

Garden

Really pretty.

Painting

The criminals

Lots of famous names like Moriarty and Hyde.. makes me wonder if this was the age of criminals..

Sherlock Holmes props

Sherlock Holmes props

They seem to have recreated everything in careful detail.

Crime scene

Only the readers will know what this is..

Sherlock Holmes’s study

A bit cramped for someone to actually live in.. but I’d have to say this one is well recreated too..

Sherlock Holmes and Watson

This must be the standard image of Holmes and Watson. Though these days Cumberbatch’s image is probably the stronger one..

Items

There really are a lot of Sherlock Holmes nerds in the world.. I wonder if there will be many in the future too..

Dining table

Official Sherlock Holmes certificate

So they’re doing this with proper certification..

Humpty Dumpty

The garden has all sorts of features too.

Another Ijinkan. I think this one was the French one.

It was decorated like some kind of theme park? Or a museum. The English House was worth seeing if you’re a Sherlock Holmes fan, but the other ones.. hmm.. fine if you see them, fine if you don’t, that kind of feeling.

Louis Vuitton bags

Looks expensive..

Wallpaper

Each room seemed to have its own theme, but I’m not really sure..

Mona Lisa

This is the white room..

This kind of concept

It is artistic, I’ll give it that.

Surreal clocks

It’s decorated well enough that the admission fee doesn’t feel like a waste, but if you’re short on time, skipping it wouldn’t matter much.

Deer

This is the Ijinkan with the taxidermy collection, but I’ve forgotten the details..

Bear

It’s huge.. I’d probably freeze if I saw one in real life..

Butterfly specimens

Tiger face

Various masks..

I enjoyed it well enough. But I don’t think it’s worth spending extra money on.. Then again.. maybe it’s by spending money on places like this that the city of Kobe gets by..

Rokko Farm Cafe

There was a cafe that looked like it would have tasty soft serve, but I skipped it because I was out of time. If you want to cover Kobe city in a day, you have to move fast..
