Spacious Rental Investment Property with Ocean Views in Kin Town
This property is a substantial detached house currently leased to a US military tenant at a monthly rent of 200,000 yen. The house offers a unique feature: an internal staircase leads to a rooftop terrace with ocean views, perfect for barbecues and enjoying the scenery. The layout comprises three bedrooms and two separate bathrooms.
The property is equipped with four air conditioning units, a Japanese-made dryer, and ceiling fans. A refrigerator, washing machine, and gas stove are available for lease from the base. It includes a one-car garage with two remote controllers.
Significant interior renovation was completed in September 2025 (Reiwa 7). The internal walls have been finished with cement, a design choice aimed at preventing mold growth and making maintenance easier, particularly for foreign residents. The property is conveniently located just 3 minutes from the Kin Interchange on the expressway, with supermarkets like Kanehide and Max Value a 4-minute drive away.
Additional critical details include: internet lines are installed (tenant responsible for provider fees); it uses a septic tank with an annual management fee of 36,000 yen plus approximately 20,000 yen for pumping; fixed asset tax for the 2024 fiscal year (R6) was 164,814 yen; there is no roof waterproofing; utilities are provided by JA Propane for gas, Okinawa Electric Power, and the Kin Town Waterworks Bureau via Taisei Jutaku for water. The property has passed military inspection. Prospective buyers should also consider standard purchase costs such as real estate acquisition tax, registration and license tax, stamp duty, mortgage deductions, and agent fees.
The area of Kin Town in Okinawa is known for its lush green hills and proximity to both the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. An interesting local fact is that Kin is home to the Kin Blue Cave, a popular snorkeling and diving spot known for its stunning cobalt blue light. The closest major landmark is the famous Manzamo scenic lookout in nearby Onna Village, offering breathtaking views of the elephant trunk-shaped cliff against the ocean.
