- 居留地に隣接するヒョーゴ・ホテルの2階から、居留地海岸通を東方へ眺めた風景です。左端の大きな建物はイギリス系の香港上海(ほんこんしゃんはい)銀行神戸支店。その向こうに外国の商館や領事館の建物が続きます。中央の緑地帯は外国人が散歩を楽しんだプロムナード。「東洋で最も美しく、よく設計された居留地」と賞賛された神戸居留地のようすが、情緒豊かに描き出されています。<br/><BR/>C.

The large building on the far left is the Kobe branch of the British-owned Hong Kong Shanghai Bank. Beyond it are a series of foreign trading houses and consulate buildings.
