What is Kobe Port Island?

It took 15 years from 1963 when the plan was conceived to 1966 when construction began and 1981 when it was completed.

The project was designed to effectively utilize the port area of Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, for commercial revitalization, residential land development, and increased acceptance of cargo vessels for the shipping industry.

It is an artificial island created in the port district of Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, for commercial revitalization, residential development, and increased acceptance of cargo ships in the maritime industry.

What is Rental Housing on a Man-made Island?

On Kobe Port Island, there are many one-room and one-bedroom apartments for university students, and Village House Minatojima Tower, which is managed by our company, is a family-oriented rental housing.

Let us introduce you to Village House Minatojima Tower.

Rare Property on Kobe Port

The Village House Minatojima Tower is a rare private rental housing for families with elevators located on Port Island, Kobe.

Other than the above, this is the only rental housing available in the form of housing managed by the Urban Renaissance Agency or a room in a condominium for rent.

A Floor Plan that Anticipates the Latest Trends

When you open the front door, you will see a hallway, a 4.5 square meter room, and across the hallway, a bathroom, washbasin, toilet, and other water facilities are concentrated. The partition door opens to the dining room and kitchen, which is a floor plan equivalent to recent condominiums for sale.

Furthermore, there is a walk-in closet in the dining room and kitchen space, making it a particularly convenient floor plan for families with a lot of luggage.

Economic Effectiveness

The market price for renting a room with the same layout in the Sannomiya Station area is approximately 100,000 yen.

The rent is set based on the age of the building, location, size, etc., but the rent at Village House is relatively low compared to other apartments in the area with the same floor space and layout, making it ideal for those who “want to keep rent low! But I don’t want to live in a small room! This is the best choice for those who “want to keep the rent low, but don’t want a small room!

Furthermore, Village House Minatojima Tower is only one line to Sannomiya Station, so you can’t complain about the “location” of the building.

As I mentioned our Village House, just by digging into some of the areas of Kobe that are commonly mentioned in the news and on SNS, you can see the various faces of this fascinating city, even if you divide it into spring, summer, fall, and winter, mountain side, and ocean side. It is a fascinating area with a variety of faces, even if we only delve into one part of the city.

Of course, we had no choice but to introduce the mountainside areas of Kobe City, including the hot springs of Arima Onsen and Awaji Island, a famous day-trip tourist spot in the Kansai region, and Hyogo Prefecture alone is full of attractions.

If you are planning to move or transfer to the Kansai region in the future and are looking for a room, there are also village houses scattered near scenic spots and tourist attractions, and we have many attractive and inexpensive rooms available, so please feel free to check Village House.
