Lions Mansion Tomari 205: A Renovated 1LDK Apartment in Naha, Okinawa
This property is a renovated 1LDK apartment located in the Lions Mansion Tomari building in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture. The apartment features a spacious layout with a living/dining/kitchen area of approximately 20.7 "jo" (tatami mats), a 6-jo Western-style room, a 3.3-jo walk-in closet, and a 4.2-jo hobby room. The total private floor area is 69.23m² (20.94 tsubo), complemented by a generous 16.73m² (5.06 tsubo) balcony. The building is a 10-story reinforced concrete (RC) structure built in January 1982, offering the durability and stability sought after in Okinawa's climate. The apartment is situated on the 2nd floor and benefits from a south-facing orientation, ensuring good sunlight and a quiet environment.
The property's equipment and features, as detailed in the agent notes, include an indoor laundry machine space and all Western-style rooms. The apartment has been renovated, with the water fixtures (kitchen, bath, washbasin, toilet) having been replaced. Additional building amenities include an elevator, city gas, and comprehensive security features such as an auto-lock system, intercom, security cameras, a TV phone (intercom with TV monitor), and an on-site building manager.
The agent, Minsa House, provides extensive services and notes for potential buyers. They emphasize their expertise, with staff from Recruit SUUMO (Okinawa division) and major financial institutions offering specialized, in-depth information. They promise a commitment to long-term, concrete life planning, deep property information provision (including crime statistics and maximum seismic intensity predictions), sharing architectural insights, and exceeding expectations with response speed and sincerity. For successful contracts, they offer large cashbacks, free moving services or an air conditioner gift, and post-purchase support for asset management, tax planning, and subsidy applications. They have seven offices across Okinawa from north to south and are available for property viewings and purchase consultations 24/7 by prior appointment. They encourage consultations for a wide range of potential buyers, including those unsure about wooden construction in Okinawa, beginners to home buying, those debating between renting and buying, and those concerned about mortgage eligibility.
The Tomari area of Naha is a well-established residential district with convenient access to the city center. An interesting historical fact about the area is its long association with the port of Naha, which for centuries served as a vital hub for trade and cultural exchange in the Ryukyu Kingdom. The closest major landmark is the vibrant Kokusai Dori (International Street), Naha's main entertainment and shopping boulevard, which is just a short monorail or bus ride away, offering a stark contrast to the peaceful residential setting of the apartment.
