Good day redditors. I will be moving to Kobe in a month and I am currently in a process of searching for a place to live. I have lived in Saitama in the past but this will be the first time I'll be living in the Kansai region so I don't really have a clue on the general area or topography on this place.
The company I will work with is situated in Port Island area so I was thinking of choosing this area as well. But my friend who lives in Kobe advised against this decision as he said that the area has lower amenities compared to other areas.
So I am currently surveying around the Sannomiya and Wadamisaki station area. My friend lives in Wadamisaki and he recommends choosing this area as well. But I checked that it takes around 30 minutes by train to reach Port Island, which is a little time consuming than I prefer. Sannomiya would be closer but I don't know anyone who lives there.
So I am asking you guys for recommendations and some general tips. I don't really have a preference as long as it's near the train station and have a lot of amenities. Or if you guys have any other areas that you can recommend, I'm open to suggestion.
