Abstract
This study aims to identify the characteristics and methods of land acquisition by foreigners in zakkyochi (mixed residential areas) in Kobe during the Meiji era. It focuses on the district−a well-known residential area for foreigners where ijinkan (historical Western-style residences) still stands till day. Foreigners in zakkyochi were only given the right to lease land from Japanese. Nonetheless, some foreigners, such as E.H.Hunter, expanded the area available to them by using the names of Japanese relatives. The land used by them was concentrated in hilly areas with good views and were not used as graveyards or villages.
