James House

I visited for lunch on my wedding anniversary, which was a month late. It goes without saying that the building is wonderful, but the staff also treated us in a way that matched the atmosphere, making it feel very special. Is the dish C course? I thought it would be rude to describe it in just one word, but I don't have enough vocabulary to say that it was amazing. (lol) You can tour the inside and outside of the building, so we recommend taking a walk after your meal. By the way, it seems that the amount of C course was too much for my wife, so I recommend B or A course for women. But roast beef is a must, so I recommend this as course B. This is a wonderful place that we recommend for your special day.

[Architecture] It is said that Mr. Ernest William James, general manager of Kobe's Kameron & Co., developed this mansion and the mountain surrounding the mansion. Completed in 1934, the equipment was designed by Takenaka Corporation and the architect was Toshio Sawara. Building exterior: The building follows the Spanish style that was popular at the time, including cream-colored clay walls, a rounded entrance porch, and a tower on the roof of the building. Building interior: Traditional British Jacobean style. The Taizan tiles used in the tower and basement bar are also used in Nasu Imperial Villa, Koshien Hotel, Cotton Industry Hall, and other buildings. [About the wedding] I attended. It was a wonderful experience to be able to attend a wedding while feeling the history in a wonderful building. If it's sunny, you can see the Akashi Strait, which is a great view, and you can take photos with the ocean in the background from the wedding venue. The photos of the bride and groom in front of the infinity pool were so beautiful. The food was also delicious.

Came here for a friend's wedding. Staff service was good. However, I was a little concerned about the facilities. First, the ceremony hall. The ceremony is held in a glass-walled room with chairs lined up on a white tile floor. However, this white tile floor is dirty. It wasn't that there was trash, but that the contractor had made a mistake, as there were traces of black dirt left behind, which was a concern since it was a wedding room. It is also a party venue for receptions. (Maybe it's just me) The bride and groom sit with their backs to the sea or the garden, and although this can't be helped due to structural reasons, the entire surface is made of glass, allowing sunlight to come in, so the photos taken are beautifully reversed. Masu. I thought it would be a good idea to find a better place to sit, since the photo shoot with the bride and groom would be ruined by the retrograde motion.
