The property is also described as all-electric, barrier-free, south-facing, and comes with a free parking space for one car.
The Higashinada area of Kobe is known for its residential charm and proximity to both urban amenities and natural beauty. An interesting local landmark is the Ikuta Shrine, one of Japan's oldest Shinto shrines, located a short train ride away in central Kobe. The area is also within reasonable distance of the scenic Mount Rokko, offering hiking trails and panoramic views of Osaka Bay. This property represents a unique chance to own a spacious, fully updated home in a prime Kobe location, ideal for a large family seeking comfort and convenience.
