Royal Kobe Kitano-dori: A Blend of Elegance and Convenience
This spacious 3LDK apartment in Kobe's Kitano district offers a refined living experience with its 22.9-jo (approx. 37.1 sqm) open-concept LDK featuring stylish arched windows and underfloor heating. The 8th-floor corner unit boasts abundant natural light, cross-ventilation, and panoramic views from its triple-aspect balconies (south, west, and east-facing). Built in 2004 with earthquake-resistant SRC construction, the property includes pet-friendly policies (with restrictions), a parcel delivery box, and assigned parking (¥2,000/month).
The Kitano area is renowned for its historic Western-style houses from Kobe's foreign settlement era, with the iconic Kitano Ijinkan-gai just steps away. An interesting local fact: the neighborhood's sloping streets were originally designed for horse-drawn carriages, creating its distinctive terraced layout. The property sits just 320m from Shin-Kobe Station, providing direct Shinkansen access, while the breathtaking Nunobiki Waterfall - one of Japan's top three waterfall views - lies within a short hike behind the station.
