Misugi-sō: A Spacious 2DK Apartment in Naha's Historic Shuri District
This rental apartment, Misugi-sō, offers a comfortable and practical living space in the sought-after Shuri Yamakawa-cho neighborhood of Naha City, Okinawa. The property features a 2DK layout with a notably spacious 10-tatami mat living-dining-kitchen (LDK) area, making it a recommended option for families. The total private area is approximately 44.62 square meters, distributed across two private Japanese-style rooms (each 6.0 tatami mats). The apartment is located on the 2nd floor of a 3-story wooden building constructed in 1979.
The property is equipped with propane gas. Important agent notes regarding fees and conditions are as follows: The brokerage commission is equivalent to one month's rent (plus parking fee if applicable) plus consumption tax. Floor plans and photos are for reference, and the actual condition of the property takes precedence. A guarantee entrustment fee applies: 70% of the total rent amount is due at contract signing, with a monthly fee of 1% of the total rent. However, the guarantee company and fees may change depending on the contract details. Enrollment in "Life Support" is mandatory at a monthly cost of 1,100 JPY, prorated for both the move-in and move-out months. This is a fixed-term lease contract of 2.0 years; a renewal incurs an administrative fee of 16,500 JPY (tax included). Cancellation during the contract period will incur a penalty. One joint guarantor is required for the contract (within 3 degrees of kinship, under 65 years old, and with income). The guarantee company is Aplus, with the initial fee at 70% of total rent and a monthly guarantee fee of 1% of the monthly billed amount. Again, the guarantee company and fees are subject to change based on the contract.
The location provides excellent convenience. While the property itself does not include a parking space, it is within walking distance of a bus stop, with the "Novotel Okinawa Naha" bus stop just a 3-minute walk away. The area is part of the popular school districts for Naha City's Josei Elementary School and Shuri Junior High School. The Shuri district is rich in history, being the former capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom. A major nearby landmark is the reconstructed Shuri Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a stunning example of Ryukyuan architecture, located just a short distance from the property.
