The 'La Suite Le Pain Building,' which houses the Le Pain Main Store adjacent to Atōa, is a four-story building located north of 'Kobe Minato Onsen Ren,' a sister natural hot spring resort on the First Shinminato Pier in Kobe. The building also includes bakery and confectionery production facilities, with 'Le Pain Kobe Kitano' on the first floor offering eat-in options.

Additionally, Atōa will reopen its second-floor zone 'ELEMENTS,' redesigned to evoke a misty primeval forest, on Saturday, July 11, 2026. The Aldabra Giant Tortoise can be seen in this newly renovated zone.

We encourage visitors to stop by before or after exploring Atōa to enjoy these delightful sweets. They also make perfect souvenirs from your trip to Kobe. We hope you will enjoy the 'Atōa × Le Pain Collaborative Sablé.'
