Shuri Daimyocho Kominka: A Traditional Okinawan Rental Home with Renovation Potential
Critical agent notes have been provided. The "Special Notes/Remarks" state: "First rent guarantee commission fee: 88,000 yen. Household goods insurance (estimate): 16,000 yen." Further "Remarks" provide important pre-viewing cautions: "If moving in mid-month, a prorated rent will be charged separately. The initial cost estimate is an approximation. This is a fixed-term lease agreement (3 years). If you cancel after signing the contract (to the management company), a cancellation fee of one month's rent plus consumption tax will be incurred."
The rental terms are clearly defined. The monthly rent is 110,000 yen with no monthly common area fees. There is no security deposit (敷金), no key money (礼金), and no guarantee deposit. The agency commission is 1.1 months' rent. The estimated initial moving-in cost, which includes the first month's rent, agency fee, and other fees, is approximately 335,000 yen. The lease renewal fee is 0.5 months' rent. One parking space is provided free of charge, with the possibility of negotiating a second space within the property grounds.
The area of Shuri is rich in history, once serving as the royal capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom. An interesting fact is that the Shuri Castle area, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is just a short distance away. This kominka offers a chance to reside in a historic district, within a 14-minute walk from Gibo Station on the Okinawa Monorail (Yui Rail), providing convenient access to modern Naha while being surrounded by traditional charm.
