Full description
Top-floor corner unit of a tower condominium a 1-minute walk from 'umie' at the heart of Kobe Harborland. We are deeply attached to this space and hope to return and live here again in the future, but due to our children's education and other circumstances, it is currently rented out. / Main feature of this room: a "second living room", a large 30㎡ balcony with 2m depth featuring tiles matching the living room's color scheme, creating perfect continuity with the interior. Opening the windows creates an open-air feeling as if the living room extends into the sky. / Unparalleled views: Kobe Port Tower, Kobe Airport, the Minato Kobe Fireworks Festival, and even views of the submarine dock below. This landscape, blending Japan's technology with the charm of a port city, can be seen from only a limited number of places domestically. / Days never lacking interest: a sea bathed in morning light, passing ships, and glittering night scenery. The ever-changing Kobe panorama satisfies residents' hearts and provides endless fascinating days. / Currently operating as a rental at 350,000 yen per month. The location and grade, which can be called "Kobe's front row seat," are highly valued by quality-conscious executive clientele and are ideal as a stable income-generating property or for future secondary or primary residence. / Location: Living at the heart of Harborland means daily access to all of Kobe offers. Education and medical: Kobe Municipal Minato Elementary School is a remarkable 1-minute walk (approximately 60m) away, providing tremendous peace of mind for children's commute to school. Nearby medical malls and Kobe University Hospital affiliated are also available. Shopping and hot springs: 1-minute walk to umie and supermarkets. In addition to the Manyo Club immediately nearby, a short drive brings you to renowned hot springs like Minatoyama Hot Spring (10 minutes by car) and Asahi Bath House (5 minutes by car). Adult entertainment: Direct access from adjacent parks to Mosaic and Meriken Park. A 10-minute drive takes you to Nankinmachi (Chinatown) and the adult entertainment area 'GLION', which are readily accessible. / We would be delighted to pass this on to someone who will cherish it.

A pre-1981 build predates Japan's current earthquake code, which can matter for insurance and renovation. We flag the era from the year built where we have it.
