Regarding initial costs, the monthly rent is 40,000 yen. The security deposit is equivalent to one month's rent. A guarantee commission fee of 80% of the monthly rent is required (using services such as Fair Credit Guarantee, Zenporen, or Ryukyu (Japan) Safety). The agency commission is one month's rent plus tax. Fire insurance is also a required cost. This is a standard intermediary transaction with a fixed-term lease agreement of 2 years. Pets are not permitted.
The area of Matsukawa in Naha is a vibrant residential district. An interesting historical fact is that Naha was once the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom, a prosperous trading nation with cultural influences from across Asia. The closest major landmark is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Shuri Castle, the former palace of the Ryukyu kings, located just a short distance away and offering a profound glimpse into Okinawa's unique history.
