外国人住宅 (gaikokujin-jutaku) 

Ex-pat accommodation in Kobe costs less than it used to.
large apartments in the best areas of Kobe , all with a parkings space and ensuite included!

Information from Rica Bradshaw to customers of ffeilden.

Kobe has a long history of catering ex-pat foreigners, who have traditionally lived in the prime areas of the Kobe hillside.
These houses and apartments are suitable for those expats sent to work in Kobe from around the world. Prices have fallen, and
some are within reach of non-expats.

Some have fallen in price due to age, but all are spacious and have ensuite bathrooms. They also come with a car parking space.
Take a look at these luxurious houses and apartments.

Below is list of expat type apartments and houses in Kobe and Ashiya at between 200 to 900 thousand yen per month. These
properties are already on the market and they are all in desirable neighbourhoods between Ashiya and Sannomiya.

If you are interested in any of the properties listed, please reply by e-mail giving your fax number, and we will send details. There
are many more of these spacious properties on the market, and acting as tenants representatives we are free to look for exactly
what you want all over the Kobe area. All prices are negotiable.
