Being ex-luxury properties agent myself in the Hamptons, New York and Los Angeles, California, I was extremely impressed with Rica’s in-depth knowledge of market trends and luxury inventory. With her astute problem-solving and hands-on approach, Rica is always looking for new ways to streamline the real estate experience for her clients. She has ability to thrive in one of the most technically and socially demanding markets in Japan.

In my 15 years in Japan, through both home ownership and the rental for my small business, I have dealt with a large amount of real estate companies and their agents. Rica has them all beat, in every aspect. She was friendly, prompt, capable, and always available. Their service is just not seen in the Japanese real estate world and I would have been happy to have paid double for what was such a smooth and pleasant experience. 5/5 stars!

The Core Eight 8 real-estate agency based in Kobe provided exactly what I was looking for, and in fact, exceeded my expectations. They exemplify high standards in customer service, organization, and property search and acquisition. I highly recommend Core Eight to any overseas investors looking for a professional and reliable real-estate agency in Japan.

Marissa Spennato

Naomi and the entire Core Eight team are an absolute pleasure to work with, and made the moving process so much less complicated! They are extremely responsive to any questions and concerns one may have.If anyone I knew was looking for a new housing arrangement, I’d definitely recommend Core Eight without any hesitation!

Bruce

I would highly recommend Rica’s services without reservation.

Daniel Green

Core Eight was incredibly helpful to me in arranging an apartment in Hyogo before I arrived in Japan. Naomi-san has been wonderful, exceeding expectations at every stage of the process. Service, fees, communication – Naomi is fantastic and Core Eight are one of the best companies I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

Daniel Rudolph

They will walk you through the complicated aspects of renting an apartment in Japan. I thought that all real estate agencies would be the same because they all charge about the same fee, but Core Eight, I honestly feel has gone beyond what is required of them. I don’t think I would get the same amount of service and help from a big real estate agency company.

David & Nicole

It is very difficult and often stressful for foreigners to rent apartments in Japan by themselves, but through FFielden and Rica we have always felt confident because of the great service they provide. We definitely recommend this company as one that is trustworthy and very easy to deal with.

Julia

She understood what kind of accommodation I was looking for and not only found me the perfect apartment but also gave helpful tips around life in Kobe.If you move to Kobe, I highly recommend Rica and ffeilden to look for an apartment. The service simply could not be better!

Xavier

I have been impressed with the quality of personalized service and support, and would highly recommend Core Eight. Very smooth experience.

Kominka

Traditional old wooden houses

Core Eight is now associated with Nakagawa Jyuken and selling KOMINKA - old wooden traditional houses built in a traditional Japanese architectural style using timeless building techniques and natural materials.

Kominka

Traditional old wooden houses

A Kominka is an old Japanese folk house, which is basically structured with wood, clay, straw and bamboo. It has few walls, a high floor and a high ceiling. These features are due to the typical Japanese climate: hot summers with high humidity.

Okuike

Retreat-like atmosphere of serenity

Okuike is a world unto itself. Surrounded by national forests on all sides, yet only a 15-minute drive to the conveniences, restaurants, and culture of the greater Kobe area, Okuike offers an almost retreat-like atmosphere of serenity and solitude that attracts many who desire their own secluded oasis.

Rokko

Traditional old wooden houses

Mt. Rokko in Rokko area is the symbols of Kobe, which have been loved by locals as a leisure spot both now and in the past.. You can enjoy hiking in the summer and skiing and snowboarding in the winter. Climbing Mt. Rokko gives you a wonderful view and refreshing air.
