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.
