Homes.
Established in 2025, ARK G.K. is a boutique real estate company based in Kansai specializing in residences that offer genuine quality and lasting appeal. Our team focuses on properties that are rarely seen on the general market, including historic homes in Kobe, elegant residences in Osaka and Kyoto, and carefully selected resort villas throughout Japan.
ARK does not pursue volume. We curate a collection of luxury properties that stand out for their architecture, design, and sense of place. Each listing is chosen for its character and the unique lifestyle it can offer, whether it is a restored traditional townhouse, a residence with panoramic views of Kobe’s mountains and waterfront, or a private retreat surrounded by natural beauty.
Real estate means something different to everyone. Some seek the inspiration that comes from exceptional design. Others are drawn to the history and craftsmanship behind a property. Many simply want a home that reflects both beauty and a sense of belonging. ARK is committed to serving clients who value something more than a standard listing and who expect a level of quality that reflects their vision.
Our platform is designed to support clients at every stage, whether browsing for inspiration, searching for a long-term home, or evaluating an investment opportunity. The experience is accessible online and through mobile devices, allowing clients to explore ARK properties from anywhere.
Japan’s regions each have their own traditions, cultures, and architectural identity. Even so, the properties we select share two consistent qualities: the importance of a home that offers comfort and a space that expresses true beauty. These principles shape the foundation of ARK G.K. and guide everything we do.
