The first month's rent is free (1ヶ月フリーレント), helping to reduce initial moving expenses. Tenant insurance is required (approx. 16,000 yen for two years), and a guarantee company subscription is mandatory (J-Lease, with an initial 20,000 yen fee and a monthly charge of 2% of the total rent).
The area is well-connected, with JR Nagasaki Main Line's Dōno Station just a 6-7 minute walk away, providing easy access to Nagasaki City. Nagayo Town offers a more suburban, residential atmosphere compared to the bustling city center. An interesting local fact is that Nagayo is home to the Nagayo Kōgen Prefectural Natural Park, offering scenic hiking trails and panoramic views. The closest major landmark is the historic and picturesque Nagasaki Peace Park, located approximately a 30-minute train and tram ride away in central Nagasaki, commemorating the city's history and promoting a message of peace.
