WORK / LIFE BALANCE - For international and local communities
International
As a port city, Kobe has always been the gateway where new ideas enter Japan. This is where games like golf first came to Japan and it's also the home of Jazz in Japan. Our city has always welcomed and adopted the best of the west in ways other cities just can't copy.
For the same reasons that made America's start-up tech hub Silicon Valley instead of New York or inside San Francisco, Kobe is the prime location to become Japan's ultimate tech hub.
Local
Kobe is often described as a big city that doesn’t feel like a big city. With divine culinary experiences, amazing parks, and pristine public transportation, Kobe more than delivers on all the amenities you expect from a major metropolitan area – but without the terrible commute times and high cost of living. Being safe, clean, convenient, and surrounded by nature, it’s no wonder that so many international residents already live in Kobe. Kobe is a place where everyone can live comfortably at their own pace. This is the key to a work/life balance that grows ideas and enterprises.
