Evergreen House: A Convenient 1R Apartment in Urasoe's Popular Serikaku Area
This compact 1R apartment in Urasoe City's sought-after Serikaku district offers a practical and comfortable living solution, particularly for single occupants. The property features a total floor area of approximately 21.4 square meters and is situated on the 4th floor of a 5-story reinforced concrete building constructed in 1989. The layout is efficiently designed, and the apartment comes equipped with furniture and appliances for immediate move-in convenience.
The apartment's facilities are clearly outlined. The unit includes a gas stove with two or more burners (using propane gas), a unit bath, a combined shampoo washbasin and vanity, air conditioning, a getabako (shoe storage cabinet), and is furnished with furniture and appliances. The agent's special notes provide critical details for prospective tenants. Viewings are possible, and applications for occupancy are currently being accepted. It is important to note that photos and videos are for illustrative purposes. The condition of the air conditioning unit requires confirmation after the previous tenant's departure, with the current state taking priority. Applications may be declined depending on inquiry volume, and it is possible to apply without an internal viewing. While applications with the deposit ready are prioritized, multiple applications on the same day will undergo simultaneous screening.
Additional initial costs are specified: a monthly building maintenance management fee of ¥1,000; mandatory fire insurance at ¥7,000 per year; an agency commission based on the monthly rent plus parking fee (plus consumption tax); and key replacement costs starting from ¥25,000 (tax excluded), which may vary based on the key type and number. If the guarantor resides outside Okinawa Prefecture, the security deposit may be subject to change (an additional deposit). Mandatory screening and enrollment with a rent guarantee company (Zenhoren Inc.) is required, with an initial cost of 50% of the monthly rent (minimum ¥20,000, which translates to ¥14,000 here) and annual renewal fees. The application method is primarily via web, and corporate applicants must provide an original copy of the commercial register (within the last 3 months), though a copy is acceptable at the application stage.

The location is highly convenient for daily life, with a Max Value supermarket within walking distance, making shopping effortless. The Serikaku Ichi-chome bus stop is just a 2-minute walk away, providing public transport access. The area of Urasoe is rich in history, once serving as the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom before it moved to Shuri. A major nearby landmark is the Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum, a significant site reflecting on the region's history and promoting peace, located a short drive away in Itoman.
