Studying at Kobe University? Welcome to Rokkomichi—a friendly, safe, and convenient area perfect for international students! Whether you're staying for a semester or pursuing a full degree, finding the right home is a crucial step toward a comfortable and successful student life in Japan.
This guide introduces the Rokkomichi area and explains why onePLUS is the best real estate partner for foreign students looking to rent in Kobe.
Why Choose Rokkomichi?
1. Excellent Access to Kobe University
Rokkomichi is located in Nada Ward, just one or two train stops from Kobe University's Rokkodai Campus. You can:
Take a bus or bicycle to campus in under 15 minutes
Easily transfer to Hankyu or Hanshin lines for access to Sannomiya and Umeda
2. Balanced Urban Living
Rokkomichi offers a great balance of residential peace and urban convenience. It's not as crowded as downtown Sannomiya, but you still have:
Grocery stores (AEON, KOHYO, etc.)
Drugstores, bakeries, and 100-yen shops
Cafes and restaurants that are student budget-friendly
3. Safe, Friendly, and International
Nada Ward is known for being one of the safest and most livable districts in Kobe. Many international students live in the area, making it easy to meet friends and join community events.
Rental Conditions: What International Students Should Know
Renting in Japan can be tricky without help. Here are some essentials:
Typical rent in Rokkomichi: ¥50,000–¥70,000/month for 1K apartments
Key money / deposit: Some landlords require upfront fees (but onePLUS offers many "zero key money" options!)
Guarantor: Needed in most cases (onePLUS can assist with this too)
Language barrier: Most rental contracts are in Japanese
That’s why choosing a supportive agency is essential. And here’s where onePLUS shines.
