Modern and Secure 1K Apartment in Naha's Uenoya District
This contemporary 1K apartment, located on the 5th floor of the 5-story Kogane Mori Garden II building in Naha's Uenoya 1-chome, offers a comfortable and secure living environment. Built in 2017, the property features a modern layout with approximately 30.52 square meters of private space, oriented to the southeast for excellent natural light. The monthly rent is 74,000 yen, with an 8,000 yen common area maintenance fee and a 1,620 yen monthly guarantee fee, bringing the total monthly cost to 83,620 yen inclusive of tax.
The apartment is exceptionally well-equipped. Facilities include city gas, a system kitchen with a gas stove (two or more burners), a separate bath and toilet with a unit bath, bathtub, bath dryer, and a separate washbasin with a shampoo and vanity area. The unit is fitted with a bidet toilet seat, air conditioning, a closet, a shoe cupboard, and an indoor space for a washing machine. For security and convenience, the building features an auto-lock system, a monitor-equipped intercom, a parcel delivery box, and an elevator. Residents also benefit from BS/CS satellite broadcasting and free, ready-to-use internet connectivity.
Key financial details for move-in include a 100,000 yen gift payment (reikin), no security deposit (shikikin), a 49,500 yen cleaning fee, an 81,400 yen agency commission, and various one-time fees for a "Droom" key system and an initial guarantee trust, leading to an estimated initial cost of 368,770 yen plus pro-rated rent. The lease renewal fee is equivalent to one month's rent, and a joint guarantor is not required. The rental agency, Asato Eki Mae Real Estate Inc., provides a guarantor proxy service. Required documents for application are straightforward: personal identification (such as a driver's license) and proof of income. The agent's notes also mention a pet condition described as "mengo," which suggests pets may be negotiable.
The Uenoya area in Naha City is a convenient residential neighborhood. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Tomari Port area has historically been a vital hub for trade and fishing in Okinawa. 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 20-minute drive or bus ride away, offering a deep dive into Okinawa's unique history and culture.
