Important remarks from the agent have been translated: There is a penalty for moving out within one year of the contract start. The agent promotes a Ponta card loyalty program, offering 10 points for the first visit and accrual of 1% of the commission (pre-tax) upon contract completion. Initial costs can be paid in installments using various credit cards, though some fees may be excluded. The listing photos are of a different unit, so the actual condition takes priority. The contract term is typically 2 years with renewal. A guarantor is not required for this rental.
Yaese Town offers a quieter, more residential atmosphere compared to the bustling city of Naha, while still providing good access to amenities. The property is just a one-minute walk from the Second Gushikami bus stop, facilitating local travel. An interesting fact about the area is its proximity to significant historical sites from the Battle of Okinawa. The closest major tourist attraction is the serene and culturally rich Shuri Castle in Naha, a reconstructed UNESCO World Heritage site that was the royal palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, approximately a 30-minute drive away.
