Residents benefit from one free parking space. The location is convenient, with Yonabaru Bus Stop just a 5-minute walk away. The property is managed under an exclusive contract with a two-year lease term that is renewable, subject to a renewal fee of 16,500 yen (equivalent to 1.1 months' rent).
Yonabaru Town is a peaceful community in central Okinawa, known for its historical significance as a former royal port. An interesting local fact is that the town's name is derived from "Yona," meaning sand, and "Haru," meaning field, reflecting its coastal plains. The area provides a quiet residential setting while remaining within reasonable distance of urban amenities. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Shuri Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and former palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, located approximately a 30-minute drive away in Naha.
