A City with a Bright Image Everyone Loves - Kansai: Charm and Share Houses

Share houses in the Kansai area come in various types, including relatively large ones renovated from corporate offices or facilities, medium-sized ones from dorms or apartments, and smaller ones from private homes. Concepts are diverse: beyond women-only, there are those specialized for job seekers, those aimed at international exchange, those for creators and entrepreneurs to share information, as well as cat-friendly share houses and those with "machiya" (traditional townhouse) style exteriors and interiors.

Public transportation in the Kansai region is extensive, with countless lines including JR, subways, private railways, and monorails, ensuring convenience to various hubs.

The region includes the ancient capital of Kyoto, the commercial city of Osaka, and the stylish city of Kobe, with high-rise buildings lining the redevelopment area of Umeda.

Why not enjoy the bustling commercial districts, friendly local shops, delicious restaurants, and the lively people of the Kansai area from a share house?

A City That Assertively Shines - Osaka: Culture and Share Houses

Share houses in Osaka, the central city of Kansai, come in various concepts, ranging from large to small, including those renovated from old apartments, mansions, or private homes.

Osaka Station is served by the JR Tokaido and San-in Main lines and the Osaka Loop Line. The surrounding area is highly convenient, with the Hankyu Umeda Station (Hankyu Kobe, Kyoto, and Takarazuka lines), Hanshin Umeda Station, and Osaka Metro Tanimachi, Yotsubashi, and Midosuji lines all having stations nearby.

Originally a wetland, the land was drained and raised by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, creating the foundation for modern Osaka. Known as "the nation's kitchen," it was blessed with seafood from the Seto Inland Sea and agricultural produce from the suburbs. The rich food culture, ranging from "Osaka kuidaore" (eating until you drop) to "konamon" (flour-based dishes), has expanded into a gourmet scene that attracts tourists. The art of conversation, developed by merchants as a communication tool, blossomed into "owarai" (comedy), and each aspect of the culture has developed uniquely, making it a city with a strong, assertive personality.

Why not live in a share house and see if you fit in with the city of Osaka?♪

Urban Living with Stylish Districts and Nature - Hyogo: Lifestyle and Share Houses

Share houses in the Hyogo area range from medium to large-scale properties renovated from studio apartments or inns, though most are smaller-scale renovations of retro buildings or private homes.

Hyogo Prefecture includes areas like Amagasaki, known for its industrial zone bordering Osaka; Kobe, a famous tourist destination; and Himeji, home to the iconic Himeji Castle. Kobe Sannomiya Station, located in the heart of Kobe, serves as a hub for the JR Tokaido and Sanyo Main Lines, Hankyu Kobe Line, and Kobe Rapid Transit Railway. Adjacent Sannomiya Station connects to the Kobe New Transit and Seishin-Yamate Line, with underground access to the Hanshin Main Line and the Kaigan Line's Sannomiya-Hanadokeimae Station.

Hyogo is vast, stretching from the Sea of Japan in the north to Awaji Island in the south. Economic activity is concentrated in the southern coastal region from Amagasaki through Kobe to Himeji. Despite the urban image, every area is close to the Rokko mountain range, offering a surprising abundance of nature. While there are glamorous commercial and industrial zones, some mountainous areas face depopulation issues.

Why not start your journey by living in a share house and discovering how to enjoy both the urban bustle and the rich natural surroundings?♪
