Hi Debito.\u00a0 On a visit to Kobe for Golden Week, I came across a bar worthy of your Rogues’ Gallery of exclusionary establisments<\/a>. Ironically, it was a soul music bar called Soul Love, with a sign featuring album covers of soul artists, including prominent Motown acts, who presumably would not be welcome inside the bar.<\/em><\/p>\n

The bar was located on Higashimon Dori, a prominent thoroughfare in Sannomiya, one of Kobe’s major entertainment districts.<\/em><\/p>\n

Following are links to photos I took of their sign reading ‘Excuse me Japanese people only,’ as well as the main sign for the business, which includes a phone number.<\/em><\/p>\n

All of these photos were taken with my cellphone, however, I have better quality images taken with another camera:<\/em><\/p>\n
