Kyukyoryuchi, or a former foreign settlement of Kobe is considered as a posh address of the city – an ambience of the neighborhood is somewhat non-Japanese and classy. Albeit its conformity of living, it is only 10 minutes walk from Sanomiya Station, the central station of Kobe. This is all attributed to a compactness of the City of Kobe. Bay, mountain, commercial activities are all in proximity.

Lions Tower Kobe Kyukyoryuchi is located a block away from its harbor front – promising a perpetual view of harbor. The property of interest, the top floor, is very unique – in both good and bad ways.  The living room has a contemporary church feeling, which many people may this it is “too much” for decoration. But other parts are quite impressive. One room is decorated with a typical Japanese room and bathroom with an oversized jacuzzi is facing direct towards the harbor.

Considering what is available for the price – the unit is much more reasonable than Tokyo. But in terms of liquidity – that is something to be considered. but a perfect place for a pied-à-terre.
