Uroko House & Observation Gallery
Uroko House & Observation Gallery, Art museum in Kitano-cho, Kobe, Japan
The Uroko House features walls covered with natural slate tiles arranged in a fish scale pattern across its two-story Victorian wooden structure.
Built in 1905 as a luxury rental property for foreigners in the settlement area, the building was later relocated to Kitano-cho during the Taisho period.
The museum displays a collection of European paintings, including works by Troyon from the Barbizon school, Matisse, Utrillo, and Bernard Buffet.
The museum opens daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with admission fees of 1,100 yen for adults and 220 yen for elementary school students.
From the third-floor observation gallery at 150 meters elevation, visitors can view Kobe Port while examining paintings by European masters.
