[2025 Kobe Restaurant] Travel Guide for Nishimura's Coffee (Updated Jun)

Fans of Hayao Miyazaki will be delighted to find the magical Nishimura Coffee. The outside of the shop is already reminiscence of anime classics such as Howl’s Moving and Kiki’s Delivery Service. Stepping into the restaurant gateway, you find yourself surrounded by a garden right out of anime, expecting something otherworldly to happen. Not only is the architecture and decor splendid and otherworldly, the food is too. I half expected myself to turn into a cat after eating!

This retro cafe has been loved since it was founded in 1948 (Showa 23). The coffee, made with high-quality beans and water, is delicious and free of impurities. They make no compromises on anything other than coffee, and the cakes lined up in the display case are sure to catch your eye. The exterior is German-style timber-framed, giving you a sense of the exotic port city of Kobe. The cafe space is on the 1st to 3rd floors, and there are many seats. It gets very crowded during morning breakfast hours, but in the evenings there are no lines and you can spend your time relatively leisurely.

📍Kobe Nishimura Coffee Shop Kitano, Kobe It's so hot every day that I feel like I'm melting, so I tried a Kobe specialty that looks and tastes cool! As it's iced coffee from a coffee specialty store, it tastes excellent! The surface where it touches the ice becomes like sorbet, so you can enjoy it until the last sip. This is a seasonal item from July to the end of September, and there is a limited quantity every day. It's hard to even get to the Kitanozaka store at this time of year, so I recommend calling the store to check if they have it in stock before going...! What I ate🧊 Iced coffee 2,000 yen Apricot cake 780 yen #0 yen trip November

A very classic cafe with European interior designs, which was first established apparently in 1974. Everything felt really retro, heavy wooden interiors even the menu has a hard wooden thick cover haha. We arrived about 15min after the cafe was open, yet there was a queue already. Overall, I think it was not worth the one hour's wait. The cakes were nice but nothing wow. The cafe is famous for the iced coffee, which literally is coffee within the hole of a cube of an ice brick. We didn't order that as it was too pricey for a drink. Think it is nice to try if you are around and don't have to wait for an hour. Else can always try out all the other cafes in Kobe. Average price/person: 1500 yen

I also went to the main store of Nishimura Coffee, but personally, I liked the Kitanozaka one better because it was packed with retro elements😍 There were quite a few people there, so I thought it was a popular shop. 【Points to enjoy☝️】・You will be asked if you want the cafe on the 1st floor or the restaurant on the 2nd floor, so make sure you decide beforehand! ---------------------------------------------------- ◆Building🏠　Kitanozaka Nishimura Coffee Shop　2-1-20 Yamamotodori, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo 650-0003◆Access🚶　11 minutes walk from Sannomiya Station◆Price💰　Around 1000-2000 yen◆Reservation　No◆Photo📷　OK---------------------------------------------------- Retro Walk | Introducing a retro experience! ↓Recommended for these people! - I like retro things - I want to know where I can wear a kimono 👘 - I want to spend my weekends and travels relaxing ---------------------------------------------------- [Retro Stroll's Thoughts🕰️] Retro Stroll was started with the desire to make people feel that "old" is "beautiful" and stop to look at it. There are many wonderful historic buildings in Japan, but they are difficult to maintain and are often demolished. This is true not only for buildings, but also for traditional Japanese objects and techniques. I hope that this will be an opportunity for as many people as possible to look at old things again before they disappear from Japan. If you find a place that catches your eye, please take a retro stroll and take a break! ---------------------------------------------------- #Traveling with Me

#Nishimuracoffee Must try breakfast at Kobe Japan ! Shop name: Nishimura coffee, Kobe

Hello ✨IAKO!✨ This time we will introduce the following. [Chez La Mer Nishimura] Did you know that there is a French restaurant on the second floor of Nishimura Coffee Shop on Kitanozaka? ! The cafe on the first floor is famous, but many people may not know that there is a restaurant on the second floor. It used to be a members-only restaurant, and the atmosphere inside is also very nice! We recommend the 3,500 yen lunch course ✨ You can enjoy delicious French cuisine in a space that resembles a foreign-style house. All the dishes were authentic, the fish was fresh, and the meat was tender, so I thought 3,500 yen was a good price. Even with a half bottle of champagne, it was less than 5,000 yen per person, so it was a very good deal for lunch ♪ There are also gratin and other a la carte dishes. It was a French restaurant where you could enjoy a delicious lunch in an elegant atmosphere and fully experience Kobe✨ Recommended for Kobe attendants♪ 📍＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝📍 🔶 Chez La Mer Nishimura 🔶 2-1-20 Yamamotodori, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture 🔶078-242-2467 🔶11:00〜14:30 (LO) 17:00〜20:30 (LO) 📍＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝📍 #Kobe #Sightseeing #Lunch #French #Ijinkan #Kitano #Gourmet #Travel

#JapanTravel I highly recommend Kobe for a trip near Osaka! Kobe is full of various dessert restaurants and pretty cafes ❤️ Among them, the local hot place you must visit is right here☑️ The place that first introduced coffee to Japan, with a long history ➡️Nishimura Coffee Main Store☕️ There are several branches in Kobe, but I recommend the main store to enjoy the real retro atmosphere, fragrant coffee scent, and the appearance of the building that was restored after the Kobe earthquake☺️ The pudding is not too sweet and has a chewy texture that is very attractive! It is better to order the cake as a drink set than to order it separately😘 It is not far from Kobe Steakland, so it is a perfect location to visit for dessert after eating Kobe beef! It is a really popular hot place that even locals wait in line😎 #JapanTravelRecommendation #CafeRecommendation #JapaneseCafe #JapaneseHotPlace

It is within walking distance from Kobe Sannomiya Station, and it is good for a simple breakfast as it has a set menu of pancakes, sandwiches, etc. It is said to have opened in 1948, and it has a nice antique feel.
