Espoir AMA: A Modern 3DK Apartment in Nanjo City, Okinawa
Espoir AMA is a modern, well-equipped apartment located in the peaceful Inamine area of Nanjo City, Okinawa. This 3DK unit, now vacant and available for viewing, offers a comfortable living space of approximately 57.85 square meters (about 17.5 tsubo) spread across the 3rd floor of a 4-story reinforced concrete (RC) building constructed in 2017. The layout features three separate Western-style rooms and a dining-kitchen area, providing ample space for daily life. A key advantage is the availability of parking for two cars in a tandem arrangement, with the first space limited to kei cars and the second available for 5,000 yen per month.
The property comes with a comprehensive set of facilities. These include propane gas, separate bath and toilet, air conditioning, internet connectivity with free internet service, a monitor-equipped intercom, and an indoor space for a washing machine. The apartment is offered at a monthly rent of 68,000 yen, with a common area maintenance fee of 3,000 yen. Initial costs include a security deposit of 68,000 yen and a renewal administrative fee of 11,000 yen. Additional optional costs include the "TOYO Anshin Support" package at 1,100 yen per month (tax included) plus fire insurance (from 13,000 yen for a 2-year renewal type). A guarantee company (Lequios Corporation) requires a fee equivalent to 40% of one month's rent.
Critical agent notes specify important conditions for prospective tenants. Contracts are prioritized based on the current property condition. The listed renewal fee is for administrative renewal procedures. Tenants must join the TOYO Anshin Support program during occupancy. Viewing appointments are accepted by phone only, and inquiries made by phone or in-person at the office are given priority; email replies may be delayed. The guarantee company is Lequios Corporation.
Nanjo City, formed from the merger of several towns, is known for its rich history and natural beauty along Okinawa's southeastern coast. An interesting local fact is that the city is home to the sacred Sefa-Utaki, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most important utaki (religious sites) in the Ryukyu Kingdom. The closest major tourist attraction is the Okinawa World theme park, featuring the expansive Gyokusendo Cave, traditional culture exhibits, and a habu snake museum, located just a short drive away.
