Light-Filled Living with Open Views
Location and Access
Luce is located in a beautiful residential neighborhood close to the mountains, offering an open setting with stunning views while remaining connected to central Kobe.
The sharehouse is a 4-minute walk from Yumeno-cho 3-chome bus stop (Municipal Bus lines 11 and 65). Buses run frequently and provide direct access to JR Kobe Station, Minatogawa Koen Subway Station, as well as Motomachi and Sannomiya, making daily commuting practical despite the residential setting.
A Local Neighborhood with Creative Energy
The surrounding area retains a strong local character while gradually welcoming new art galleries, cafés, and an independent bookstore, creating a quiet but noticeable creative presence.
Its proximity to the mountains adds openness and distance from dense urban zones, while everyday conveniences remain close at hand, including a convenience store within a short walk and a large supermarket nearby.
Bright and Comfortable Shared Living
The name Luce, meaning “light” in Italian, reflects the defining feature of the house.
All rooms receive ample natural light. You can enjoy wide views over the city of Kobe and the Seto Inland Sea.
Shared spaces include a dining kitchen, a main living room for daily use, and a second Japanese-style living room with a calm atmosphere. A wooden deck overlooking the city extends the living space outdoors.
Facilities include a refrigerator, microwave, washing machine, and a handy vacuum cleaner.
Each private room is equipped with air conditioning, a wooden desk, chair, and hanger rack, allowing residents to settle in with minimal additional items.

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.
