SOLA CAFE

SOLA CAFE General Q&A

• What is the background behind the creation of SOLA CAFE?

  SOLA CAFE was developed based on a proposal to the city of Kobe by Clef du Rêve, Inc., the company behind KITANO CLUB SOLA, which is located on the same site. This initiative was designed to make the most of this exceptional location by establishing a welcoming complex for everyday enjoyment by all, contributing to the revitalization of the surrounding area.

• SOLA CAFE seems to be on the premises of KITANO CLUB SOLA, but is it still accessible to the general public?

  Absolutely. SOLA CAFE is open not only to those attending weddings or similar events but also to the general public. We aim to make it a bustling hub that connects Kitano with Shin-Kobe, bringing vitality to the local community.
  If you are interested in visiting KITANO CLUB SOLA in advance to plan for a wedding, party or other event, please consult with our staff.

• What kind of shops and attractions are there around the area?

  Right around the corner, you'll find the esteemed Kitano Club, known for its French dishes, and the Kitano Club Annex, catering to lovers of modern Italian cuisine. The historic Kitano Ijinkan District, where some of the earliest foreign settlers in Japan resided, is also a short distance away.
  Heading towards Shin-Kobe, visitors can explore the Nunobiki Falls and Herb Gardens, perfect for sightseeing. Additionally, SOLA CAFE is situated by the Kitano Promenade, connecting Shin-Kobe and Kitano amidst rich natural scenery. The area offers numerous attractions worth exploring.

EVENT & PARTY Q&A

• What can the space be used for?

  The space stands out for its beautifully curated plant displays by our gardeners, yet its simple, glass-walled design lends itself to a wide range of events.
  It is suitable for hosting workshops, pop-up shops, and can be fully rented out as a photo studio. It also serves well for training sessions or meetings. Additionally, it's ideal for smaller private events such as parent-child gatherings, as well as welcome/farewell parties, and is a popular choice for wedding after-parties.
