Modern 1LDK Apartment with Comprehensive Amenities in Okinawa City
This recently built 1LDK apartment in Okinawa City's Chibana district offers a modern and convenient living environment. The property features a counter kitchen, separate bath and toilet, a bathtub, a gas-powered clothes dryer, an independent washbasin, air conditioning, a closet, and a designated indoor space for a washing machine. Key building amenities include free internet, an auto-lock security system, a monitor-equipped intercom, a parcel delivery box, and an elevator.
According to the agent's notes, this is a nearly new apartment with a scheduled vacancy on March 30, 2026. Viewings can be scheduled by phone after the current tenant vacates, but applications are accepted without an in-person viewing. The listing emphasizes the well-equipped nature of the building, including security cameras, and its good access near an interchange.
Important notes for applicants: Photos and videos are for illustrative purposes, and the actual condition takes precedence. There is no warranty on the air conditioning unit. The agent may decline applications based on inquiry volume. Applicants with complete documentation are prioritized, but if multiple applications are received on the same day, simultaneous screening will occur. Additional initial costs include a monthly building maintenance fee of ¥1,000 and mandatory fire insurance at ¥7,000 per year. The agency fee is equivalent to one month's rent plus parking fee (plus consumption tax). Key replacement costs approximately ¥25,000 (excluding tax), varying by key type and number. A guarantor is required: they must be a working relative under 65 years of age. Additionally, screening and enrollment with a rent guarantee company (Zenhoren Inc.) is mandatory, with an initial fee of 50% of the monthly rent (minimum ¥20,000, currently ¥14,000) and annual renewal fees. The application and contract process is conducted electronically. Corporate applicants require paper applications and must provide a commercial register (within 3 months) and two guarantors (a representative and an external party).
The apartment is located in Okinawa City, a central hub on the main island. The area is known for its blend of urban convenience and local culture. An interesting historical fact is that the city was a major center for the US military administration after World War II before its reversion to Japan in 1972. The closest major tourist attraction is the Okinawa Zoo & Museum (Okinawa Kodomo no Kuni), a popular family destination featuring diverse wildlife and interactive exhibits.
