Built in 2022, the apartment is located on the first floor of a three-story reinforced concrete (RC) building, with a south-facing balcony.
The apartment comes with a comprehensive list of facilities and equipment, as detailed in the agent's notes. The kitchen is equipped with a counter-style system kitchen featuring a 3-burner propane gas stove. The unit has a separate bath and toilet, a combined shampoo, face-wash, and vanity area, a bathtub, and an independent washbasin.

Critical information from the agent's notes includes the application and contract details. Applications must be made via the web, and interested parties are instructed to call. A deposit equivalent to 1.1 months' rent is required to apply. The process from application to contract takes approximately one week. If a contract is canceled after signing but before moving in, one month's rent and the agent's fee are non-refundable. A joint guarantor is mandatory; they must be under 65 years old, employed, and residing on Okinawa's main island. Canceling within the first year of the contract incurs a penalty of one month's rent. The managing agent, CUBE Goya Branch, is available by phone but does not conduct in-person viewings on Wednesdays and is closed on Sundays.
Pets are negotiable, a key feature of this listing. The conditions allow for one dog OR one cat. Additional pet deposits are required: one month's rent for a dog and two months' rent for a cat. The property also includes a dedicated pet foot-washing area on the balcony. Two parking spaces are provided free of charge for standard-sized cars. Other monthly costs include a 3,000 JPY common area maintenance fee and a 1,000 JPY sanitation fee.
