An exceptional sense of space in one of Kobe’s most established residential neighborhoods.
Recently transformed through an extensive renovation, this remarkable residence in Shinoharakita has entered a new chapter — contemporary, sophisticated and designed for modern international living.
With approximately 919 sqm of interior space on 595 sqm of freehold land, the scale of this home is extraordinary by Japanese residential standards.
Yet its appeal is not simply its size.
The substantial reinforced-concrete construction, generous proportions and quality of the original building provide a foundation rarely found in today’s residential market. The recent renovation brings a fresh, modern character to the interiors while retaining the presence and substance of the architecture.
With 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and parking for six or more cars, the residence offers tremendous flexibility.
It could comfortably accommodate a multigenerational family, provide separate private spaces for family members and guests, or become an exceptional home for those who enjoy entertaining on a larger scale.
Expansive living areas, a grand hall, terraces and garden spaces create opportunities for everything from intimate family life to dinners, celebrations and gatherings with friends and business associates.
Private suites, a study, sauna and a Japanese stone bath overlooking a stone garden introduce quieter moments within this substantial home.
And above it all are sweeping views across Kobe toward the sea.
Located in Shinoharakita, in the foothills of Rokko, the residence enjoys the privacy and calm of an established premium residential neighborhood while remaining within easy reach of central Kobe.
Hankyu Rokko Station is only a few minutes away by car, connecting the property conveniently with Kobe and Osaka.
For those accustomed to spacious homes overseas, finding comparable scale in Japan — particularly in an established urban residential location — can be remarkably difficult.
This is what makes this property special.
Not simply a large house, but a rare opportunity to live in Japan without compromising on space.
A substantial Kobe residence, newly reimagined for its next generation.
