KH Gallery is a gallery space built around the creative world of Hiroko Koshino, one of Japan’s best-known fashion designers. It presents the story of Koshino Hiroko through exhibitions and events centered on her paintings, while also featuring art/fashion fusion and collaborations with artists in other fields. The building was originally Koshino’s residence, designed by Tadao Ando, and was later opened to the public in 2013 as a gallery space.

KH Gallery is easy to pair with a broader art-and-architecture day in the Hanshin area, especially if you’re exploring Ashiya and nearby Kobe. The gallery emphasizes a calm viewing experience and rotating programming, so it’s worth checking what’s on before you go.

What you’ll find

  • Rotating exhibitions and projects in a contemporary gallery setting, with programming that changes over time.
  • A destination-style visit in the Ashiya hills—ideal if you want a slower, more intentional art stop.
  • Architecture + atmosphere that rewards the trip, especially for visitors interested in design-conscious art spaces.

Getting there

KH Gallery is in Ashiya (Hyogo), in the Okuike area. It’s best reached by car or taxi, and it’s a good idea to confirm access details and reservation instructions on the official site before heading out. Since the gallery is in a quieter residential/hillside area, public-transit-only access may require extra planning.

Good to know

  • Advance reservations are required, so don’t treat this like a walk-in museum stop.
  • Check the current exhibition and schedule on the official website before you go—programming and availability change.
  • Plan transport ahead of time (car/taxi recommended) since the gallery is in the Okuike hillside area rather than central Kobe.
