Awaji Island, by the Numbers.

Three airports within reach: Kansai International, Kobe and Osaka Itami.

Overnight stays on the island in 2024 reached 113% of their 2019 level.

In the 2026 official land price survey, average commercial land prices on Awaji Island rose for the first time in 35 years, while residential land prices increased for a second consecutive year.

These figures do not tell the whole story, but they show an island attracting renewed attention as a place to visit, stay and live.

Importantly, market conditions are not uniform across the island. Recent land price increases have been seen primarily in Awaji City, while trends in Sumoto and Minamiawaji remain different.

Numbers show where a place stands.

Living there shows what it means.

Sources: Hyogo Prefecture; Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism; Kobe Shimbun.

Figures are based on published information available as of September 2026. Past trends are not an indication of future property values.

Ei, Awaji City

Close enough for an unplanned weekend.

Ready when you arrive.

Comfortable enough for a longer stay.

With three bedrooms, generous living spaces and a private pool, it can be a quiet retreat for two or a place to gather with family and friends.

The best second homes do not remain separate from your life.
They become part of it.

For Weekends — and Beyond.
Ei, Awaji City

Morning begins by the sea.
A sandy beach is only a five-minute walk away, close enough for an early swim, a quiet walk or coffee by the shore.

Spend the afternoon cycling along the coast, enjoying the garden, working remotely or exploring Awaji Island’s cafés, local produce and outdoor activities.

As evening arrives, return home, slow down and share the quiet with family and friends.

This is a home that can be enjoyed in different ways: as a private retreat, a base for outdoor adventures, or a place where the people important to you can come together.

A second home is not only about where you stay.
It is about how you choose to spend your time.

SOLD | Rokko Mountain Retreat

We are pleased to share that this distinctive mountain home has found its new owner.

Surrounded by the forest and quiet of Mount Rokko, it offered something increasingly rare: a place to step away from the city while remaining closely connected to Kobe.

We are grateful to have helped bring this home and its next custodian together.

As one story begins its next chapter, other remarkable homes are waiting to be discovered across Kobe and the Kansai region.

Three Questions International Buyers Ask

What underpins the value of this residence?

Can an overseas buyer acquire it on a freehold basis?

Can it be operated as short-term accommodation?

For an international buyer, understanding the property is only part of the decision. Ownership, permitted use and the practicalities of purchasing in Japan matter too.

In this post, we answer three of the questions we are most frequently asked about Megamiyama House No.16.

Please note that purchase procedures and permitted use remain subject to Japanese law, the applicable building agreement and each buyer’s individual circumstances.

Core Eight can provide further property information and coordinate with qualified legal, tax and registration professionals where required.

For further details, please contact us directly.

A Home That Cannot Be Repeated.

Some homes can be reproduced. Others belong to a particular architect, landscape and moment in time.

Designed by Osamu Ishii as Megamiyama House No.16, this residence forms part of a finite body of work shaped by his enduring dialogue with nature.

Recent works to the interior, exterior and roof have been undertaken with respect for the original architecture, allowing the house to continue its story without losing its character.

This is more than the purchase of a residence. It is an opportunity to care for and carry forward an important work of Japanese residential architecture.

Preserve what is rare. Carry its story forward.

MEGAMIYAMA — A Distinguished Hillside Address.

Set above Koyoen, Megamiyama is one of Nishinomiya’s most distinctive residential settings.

Surrounded by mature greenery and elevated above the city, it offers a rare sense of privacy and tranquillity without feeling disconnected from everyday life.

Koyoen Station is the nearest station, with central Kobe and Osaka both around 30 minutes away by train.

Here, architecture, landscape and daily life exist in quiet balance.

A home deeply rooted in place.

The Vision Behind a Living Legacy.

Osamu Ishii believed architecture should respond quietly to the land rather than dominate it.

His own home, Kaikisouan, marked the beginning of an extraordinary hillside community in Megamiyama. The Megamiyama Houses were later recognized with the Architectural Institute of Japan Award in 1986.

Completed in 1992, Megamiyama House No.16 carries that philosophy forward through its relationship with the hillside, mature trees, natural light and carefully chosen materials.

This is not simply a house to own. It is a work of architecture to understand, care for and carry into its next chapter.

A living legacy, awaiting its next custodian.
