After living in a share house and immersing myself in an environment where I could slowly make friends with many different people over time, I was able to lead a very rich life, which is why I started managing the share house myself. I try to operate in a way that not only cheerful people but also shy people can enjoy. If you are at all interested, please come and visit us.

Nice to meet you! I’m Antonio, one of the staff members. I’m originally from Italy and have been living in Kobe since 2024.
I used to live in a share house in Florence, Italy. Living together with people from all over the world, cooking in the kitchen, chatting in the living room… it was a very unique and enjoyable experience where I was exposed to different cultures and languages every day. The connections and interactions you can only find in a share house are still some of my best memories.
After that, I lived in Paris, France for quite a long time, and then moved to Kobe in 2024. One of the reasons I chose Kobe is that it’s just the right size—not too big, not too small—and you can easily access both the mountains and the sea. I was also drawn to its history as a port city with long-standing international connections and a rich multicultural background. Another thing I like is how easy it is to travel to different parts of Japan from Kobe.
I believe a share house is a very unique environment where people from different backgrounds live together. I’d be happy if I can help create a place where everyone feels comfortable and enjoys their daily life. If you see me around, feel free to say hi anytime!

Hello! I’m Haru, one of the staff members.
I’m originally from Taipei, Taiwan, and I’m a big ocean lover—I feel happiest when I can see the sea!
When I first came to Japan, I also lived in a share house. At that time, I started my new life with excitement but also a bit of anxiety. Looking back, I truly feel that I am who I am today because of the warm connections and experiences I had there.
Because of that, I deeply understand the mix of excitement and uncertainty that comes with living in a new country. If you ever feel unsure due to language barriers or cultural differences, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me anytime.
I can communicate in Chinese, English, Korean, and Japanese, so even if you’re not confident in Japanese, that’s totally okay! Feel free to talk to me in your native language or whichever language you’re most comfortable with.
I believe a share house is not just a place to live, but a place where a new chapter of life begins. I’ll do my best to support you so that your life here is filled with wonderful encounters and meaningful experiences.
【Likes】
Things: Visiting hot springs (it helps me relax both physically and mentally ♨️), cooking, and enjoying ocean views

■ Mana(Operations Staff)
【Greetings】
Nice to meet you! I’m Mana, one of the staff members.
I’m originally from Nishiwaki City in Hyogo Prefecture, where I grew up in a peaceful countryside surrounded by delicious food.
I moved to Kobe for work and previously worked in the Mount Rokko area. I really loved being close to nature, where I could enjoy the fresh mountain air and the changing seasons. In Kobe, you can reach the sea with a short walk or head up to the mountains just as easily—I think that perfect balance is one of the city’s greatest charms.
I’ve actually never lived in a share house before, but I’ve always been a bit of a people person. I often spent time visiting friends or having them over at my place. Of course I love chatting, but I also find it very comforting just to feel someone’s presence, even without talking.
I’m the type of person who gains energy from talking with others, but I also enjoy having quiet time to myself.
To me, it would be wonderful if a share house could become more than just a place to live—a place where you can relax when you come home, like a second hometown.
I believe that living in a share house offers opportunities to meet new people, have meaningful conversations, and discover new perspectives. I’d be happy to help create a space where everyone feels comfortable and enjoys their time here. If you see me around, feel free to say hi anytime!

Hello!
I am also a resident of a share house♪
I was looking for a place to live in Kobe city, when a friend of mine asked me “How about a share house? I was asked by a friend, “A share house? What? At first, I had no idea what kind of place it was, but when I actually went to see a room, I fell in love at first sight!
I’m from the Tohoku region of Japan, but I came to the Kansai region by chance, and this was my first experience in a share house in Kobe.
Even though I see foreigners on the streets, I’ve never had the opportunity to talk to them in such a close proximity, so I was thrilled to be able to hear a variety of languages in such a close proximity.
I regret that I didn’t study English properly when I was a student, but with body language, a smile, and the powerful tool of Google Sensei on my side, I am enjoying conversations with people from overseas. (#^^#)
I believe that many people choose to live in a share house at various turning points in their lives, such as study, employment, encounters, and partings.
It is with these hopes that I’m involved in share house management so that these people can lead better lives and meet new people in the future.
