Space for Everyday Life—and Your Own Ideas
The apartment includes a living, dining, and kitchen area, one Western-style room, and two six-tatami Japanese-style rooms.
That arrangement offers several possibilities. Depending on your household, you could use the additional rooms for children, visiting family, working from home, or simply having a separate place to relax. Built-in storage helps keep everyday belongings tucked away.
The Japanese-style rooms also give you a choice: preserve the tatami for a traditional feel, or discuss alternative finishes with a renovation professional. Any changes to the layout, flooring, or fixtures will need to follow the building’s renovation rules and the apartment’s structural limitations.
The appeal is the opportunity to shape the interior around how you want to live.
Port Island Living, Connected to Central Kobe
A five-minute walk brings you to Nakakoen Station on the Port Liner, which connects Port Island with Sannomiya, Kobe’s central transport and shopping hub. The line also serves Kobe Airport, giving the location practical appeal for people who travel.
Living here lets you keep access to central Kobe while enjoying the island’s parks and waterfront spaces. Kobe City highlights several places to explore, including Kita Park, Naka Park, and Port Island Shiosai Park. Harbor scenery and outdoor walks can become part of your time off without planning a full day away.
These are neighborhood attractions rather than views promised from the apartment. During a viewing, it is worth exploring the surrounding streets and trying the station walk to see how the location fits your routine.
A Home Your Pet May Be Able to Share
Pets are permitted, subject to the building’s rules. For buyers planning a move with an animal companion, this is a useful feature to investigate early.
Before proceeding, we can help confirm whether the rules accommodate your pet, including any restrictions on size, type, or number.
An Established Building with Reported Seismic Improvements
The building was completed in March 1983. According to the property information supplied, seismic reinforcement work was completed in December 2024.
This is a relevant improvement to review alongside the building’s maintenance history and future repair plans. Buyers should also examine the available documentation to understand the scope of the work and the ongoing management of the building.
Understand the Costs Beyond the Asking Price
The asking price of ¥14 million gives you a clear starting point for your budget. If you intend to update the interior, consider purchase expenses and renovation costs together before deciding how much work to undertake.

Reviewing both the purchase budget and ongoing costs helps you decide whether the apartment fits your plans comfortably.
The Catch? You May Start Planning Your New Kitchen During the Viewing
The interior shows its age, so buyers seeking a freshly renovated home should factor that into their decision. The kitchen, bathroom, and finishes deserve a close look, with any desired improvements included in the budget.
For someone who wants to choose their own materials and style, that is also part of the attraction. You can assess what to retain, what to refresh, and where a bigger change would make the most difference.
It is easy to start imagining a new kitchen or a favorite reading corner—but the best first step is to see the apartment and understand what is practical.
