The building used as a villa was renovated in June 2020 under the theme of “Japanese resort with a superb view. Although it is located near the center of Kobe, you can enjoy the rich nature and calm atmosphere. And, as the name suggests, it offers a panoramic view of Kobe’s sea and nightscape.
The living room was made spacious by boldly taking out the walls. Such an environment and interior are popular among foreigners, and you will enjoy a cosmopolitan lifestyle. Private rooms are spacious, with an average size of 12 square meters. You don’t need to worry even if you have a lot of luggage.
From the bus stop, a 5-minute walk away, you can go to Kobe Station or Sannomiya with just one bus. A well-stocked supermarket and shopping district are a 7-minute walk away, making it a very easy area to live. The NATUER STUDIO, a complex facility with an aquarium that was renovated from an elementary school, is now open in the neighborhood, making this an area that is currently the focus of much attention.

Management
The management company cleans the common areas twice a month. However, we ask all residents to clean up after themselves and keep shared spaces tidy after each use.
Event
We organize various events such as welcome parties, farewell parties, fireworks, and BBQs. Many other activities also happen naturally when sharemates discover common interests and hobbies.
We encourage you to keep an open mind, go with the flow, and enjoy trying new things together with your sharemates!
Cost
One of the biggest advantages of living in a share house is the great value for money.
The only initial fee is a ¥15,000 administrative fee, making it possible to enjoy a comfortable stay at an affordable price, even for a relatively short period of time.
Friend
Family members and friends are welcome to stay with you.
If you have a guest staying overnight, please let the shared LINE group know in advance. An additional fee of ¥1,000 per night applies.
House Viewing
We ask all prospective residents to view the house before moving in.
This allows you to get a feel for each house’s concept, atmosphere, and living environment. We will also have a short conversation with you during the viewing.
We welcome residents who feel, “I would love to live here!” after getting to know the house and its atmosphere.
The above is the basic flow. We respond flexibly according to your situation.
