Please note that photos and floor plans may show mirrored room layouts or different color schemes of the same type; the actual condition takes precedence. Furniture and appliance brands vary by room. Rooms on the second floor and above have carpet flooring. As furnished properties are popular and may receive applications quickly even before the current tenant vacates, viewing a similar model room is possible if the specific unit is unavailable.
Tenant screening requires identification and proof of employment/status documents. For minors or unemployed individuals, a joint guarantor is necessary. Corporate contracts require a company registry and identification for the prospective tenant.
As a special bonus from the handling agent, Ierite, successful applicants will receive daily life support goods (daily necessities and sanitary products) equivalent to 10% of one month's rent.
The apartment is located in the Kaneshiro district of Haebaru-cho, a central Okinawan town with a rich history in traditional Ryukyuan textile dyeing, particularly the vibrant 'bingata' technique. The area offers convenient daily living amenities. For recreation and culture, residents are within a reasonable distance of the UNESCO World Heritage site, Shuri Castle, a symbol of the Ryukyu Kingdom's historical grandeur.
