This property is a 59.18 sqm (approximately 17.9 tsubo) 3LDK apartment located on the 2nd floor of a 5-storey reinforced concrete (RC) building named Castle Kawabe in Ome City, Tokyo. Built in September 1990, the building features a total of 24 units and is under the full delegated, patrol-based management of Home Life Management Co., Ltd. The apartment is currently vacant, and the handover timing is negotiable.
According to the agent's notes, the property includes storage space and closets in all rooms. Bicycle parking is available for a monthly fee of 200 yen. Car parking is also available for 8,000 yen per month, though prospective tenants must confirm availability. The monthly common charges are 15,900 yen for management fees and 17,510 yen for repair reserve fund. The layout consists of one Japanese-style room (6 tatami mats), and two Western-style rooms (4 tatami mats and 6.3 tatami mats). A 6.1 sqm balcony is included. The building has undergone a building confirmation inspection and comes with defect insurance and a performance evaluation.
The location in Ome City's Chigasecho 1-chome offers convenient access to daily amenities. Within walking distance are FamilyMart and Lawson convenience stores, Denny's restaurant, and the Ome Municipal Ome General Medical Center. For shopping, Seiyu Kawabe and AEON Style Kawabe are nearby.

The surrounding area of Ome is part of the greater Okutama region, known for its natural beauty at the western edge of Tokyo Metropolis. An interesting local fact is that Ome is famous for its annual Ome Marathon, which has been held since 1967 and attracts runners from across Japan to its scenic, slightly challenging course. The closest major tourist attraction is the majestic Mount Mitake, a sacred mountain and part of Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park, which is easily accessible from Ome Station and offers hiking trails, the historic Musashi Mitake Shrine, and stunning seasonal vistas.
