Compact and Affordable Apartment in Toyonaka, Osaka
This rental apartment, located in the quiet residential area of Chokoji Kita 3-chome, Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture, offers a practical and economical living solution. The property is a 1K layout unit with a wall-core exclusive area of 20.25 sqm (approximately 6.12 tsubo), situated on the 3rd floor of a 3-story steel-framed building constructed in June 1974. The monthly rent is 32,000 yen, with an additional 3,000 yen monthly management fee.

Translated agent notes on equipment and features confirm the apartment includes a toilet, separate bath and toilet, shower, kitchen with a window, closet, air conditioning, CATV, washing machine space, city gas, water supply, sewerage, city gas water heating, and a flat land plot. Special conditions are strictly noted: pets are not allowed, occupancy is limited to single individuals only (no couples, no room sharing), and the unit cannot be used as an office or for SOHO purposes. The contract period is 2 years with no renewal fee, but tenants are required to join a rental guarantee scheme and purchase a specified insurance policy.

The surrounding area of Toyonaka provides convenient daily amenities, with a FamilyMart convenience store just a 2-minute walk away. For a more interesting local fact, the city is home to the Expo '70 Commemorative Park, the site of the 1970 Japan World Exposition, which now features expansive gardens, museums, and the iconic Tower of the Sun sculpture.
