The Holland House complete with a photo of a fake Dutch woman...no, the Bloggster did not buy a ticket to go into this place...... 

What the Denmark House needs is for a large group of wild,real vikings to come here and do their usual business (except for burning down a house...they can however do anything they want to the ticket booths and the fake, garish displays..) for a day or two...... 

The Denmark/Holland House. 

 

Kobe shows us exactly what not to do if our city has a large number of interesting historic houses. ( The houses here in Kobe were built by the many Europeans who lived in this important port city about 100 years ago. ) The " Free Enterprise System " has really run amuck here. This historic neighborhood has been turned into a really tacky sort of "European themepark" complete with about 3,000 wedding chapels. Almost every old house has it's seperate ticket booth....
