Entire building rental/Parking/5 minutes to Kobe Station/Discount for consecutive nights/Sannomiya, Himeji Castle nearby/Full kitchen/Washing machine/5 beds/Spacious art space

"Hotel New Hyokk" An old mixed-use building quietly standing in a corner of the city near Kobe Station. There was a space there that had been abandoned and unused for a long time. At first glance, the Kobe-based Nishimura Group, an abandoned house renovation group, felt the potential of the place that had finished its role and set its sights on it. In August 2023, they opened an "art hotel where you can stay" based on the concept of "urban secret base". The total area is 93 m². The entire 3-story building has been renovated. * The hotel part is on the 2nd and 3rd floor & rooftop The second floor is a living space and the third floor is a separate bedroom, so it can be used by couples, families, and groups. The interior takes advantage of the texture of the concrete and is an open space with the ceiling removed. The stylish design, unimaginable from the old appearance, will stimulate your senses. Also equipped with an island kitchen using a huge single board. It is also ideal as a small event venue. The open rooftop space is particularly noteworthy. Morning coffee is amazing while watching the hustle and bustle of the city in the distance. Why not enjoy a special Kobe experience where you can enjoy an unusual time in a corner of the city?

NISHIMURATEI Hanare ― A 110-year-old traditional kominka house for rent, with kitchen and dining area

Hi there,Welcome to the Nishimura Residence.I’m Yuta Sugimoto, the host. The Nishimura Residence is a traditional Nara machiya townhouse over 110 years old.In 2019, I renovated “Grandma’s house,” where I spent a lot of time as a child, and opened it as an inn.Since the Nara machiya has been preserved in its original state, it has many inconveniences and is not a luxurious hotel where everything is provided.  Instead, I believe there is no better place than Nara-cho to soak up the ‘comfortable rusticity’ that permeates the town.In the hope of helping guests ‘reflect and recover’ in an environment away from the hustle and bustle of the station area, we provide books in the room and a vegetarian breakfast.(You can purchase almost all of the books in the room.)  Please spend tonight in the tranquillity of the Nishimura residence and Nara-cho, listening to the voice of your own heart.
