The historic building was once an elementary school. Now it houses 21 different craft shops where you can watch artisans at work, or try for yourself. Kitano Meister Garden offers a dazzling array of hands-on craft classes—you can make matchbooks, soap, beaded accessories, leather goods, fruit carvings, and much more. How about a souvenir aromatherapy candle in the shape of Kobe's iconic Port Tower that you can paint yourself? This is the place to get one-of-a-kind mementos and gifts.
