The image showcases the unique blend of Eastern and Western influences that defined Kobe during this era. In the foreground, trams glide smoothly along the tramlines, transporting passengers through the city. The trams, with their distinctive design and ornate details, add a sense of modernity and progress to the scene. The street is lined with a variety of shops, each with its own distinct character. A bar and cafe, identified by the iconic red lanterns hanging outside, beckon to weary travelers in search of a respite.

Pedestrians dressed in traditional Japanese garb walk alongside those wearing Western-style clothing, reflecting the diverse cultural influences that shaped Kobe during this period. The buildings in the background, with their ornate architectural details and intricate rooflines, add to the sense of history and tradition that permeates the image. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Kobe during the 1910s and is a testament to the city's enduring charm and character.
