Balcony sizes range from 2.94㎡ to 16.48㎡, while select units feature terrace space of 7.14㎡ with monthly maintenance fees of ¥100 for Type C units.

Premium units feature walk-in closets and additional storage options including shoeboxes and multi-use closets.
Building amenities are comprehensive. The property provides one service parking space and one guest parking spot, with 39 indoor bicycle spaces available at ¥400-600 monthly, and 2 motorcycle spaces at ¥2,000 monthly. A 24-hour mail corner facilitates package reception, while a pet washing station serves residents with pets. The building includes 24-hour waste disposal and disaster prevention storage.
