Spacious 1LDK Apartment in Sapporo's Peaceful Kita-Go Area
This well-maintained apartment offers a comfortable 1LDK layout in the quiet residential neighborhood of Kita-Go, within Sapporo's Shiroishi Ward. The property features a total private floor area of 36.45 sqm (approximately 11.02 tsubo), thoughtfully divided into a 6.0-tatami mat Western-style room and a combined 10.0-tatami mat Living-Dining-Kitchen (LDK) space. The apartment is located on the second floor of a three-story wooden building constructed in October 1989.
Key equipment and features include a separate bath and toilet, a toilet with a warm-water washlet bidet seat, a designated washing machine placement area, a corner room location, and propane gas for cooking and hot water supply. Special notes indicate that winter snow removal fees are 3,300 yen per removal. The apartment is currently vacant, and the move-in date is negotiable. Additional monthly costs include a 200 yen town fee and a 1,100 yen 24-hour service fee. A one-time key replacement fee starts from 16,500 yen, and a contract administration fee of 16,500 yen is required. The rental agreement is for a standard 2-year period with a renewal fee equivalent to one month's rent. Tenant insurance is required (approximately 19,000 yen for 2 years for the example plan), and a rental guarantee company membership is mandatory (Fujisan Real Estate Guarantee 79.5% + transfer fee + administration fee, with renewal costs).
The Kita-Go area provides a serene living environment while remaining accessible. It is a 16-minute walk from Shiroishi Station on the Hakodate Main Line, connecting residents to central Sapporo. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Shiroishi Ward is home to the Moerenuma Park, a massive art park and playground designed by the world-renowned artist and sculptor Isamu Noguchi. The park, built on a former waste treatment site, is a major landmark and a stunning example of land reclamation turned into public art, featuring glass pyramids, sculpted mountains, and vast recreational spaces.
