Affordable Pet-Friendly Apartment in Wakayama's Quiet Residential Area
This rental apartment, located in a quiet residential neighborhood of Wakayama City, offers a surprisingly affordable entry point with a special introductory offer. The monthly rent is 23,000 yen, with a 2,000 yen common area maintenance fee. A significant incentive is available: for the first six months, the total rent including the maintenance fee is just 10,000 yen. After this period, the rent reverts to 28,000 yen plus the 2,000 yen fee.
The property is a 2K layout with a total private floor area of 21 sqm (approximately 6.35 tsubo), situated on the second floor of a two-story wooden apartment building constructed in January 1968. The unit is a corner room on the top floor, with its main windows facing south for good sunlight. Key equipment includes a toilet, shower room, gas stove (propane), storage space, a washing machine area, and lighting fixtures. Notably, the toilet and shower room have been newly installed. The landlord provides a television and lighting fixtures as complimentary service items.
Special notes from the agent highlight that pets are negotiable, with small dogs permitted, and two-person occupancy is allowed. There is no security deposit (敷金) or key money (礼金). However, there is a short-term cancellation penalty: cancellation within the first year is not permitted, and moving out within two years incurs a penalty of three months' rent. The contract period is two years with no renewal fee. Tenant insurance is required (approximately 16,000 yen for two years, subject to change), and a rental guarantee company must be used (if not approved by one company, another can be arranged).
The apartment is situated in Wakaura Higashi 2-chome, a quiet residential district. The area is rich in history and natural beauty, being part of the wider Wakaura Bay area, which is famed for its scenic views and historic temples. A major nearby landmark is the iconic Wakayama Castle, a historic fortress perched atop Mount Torafusu offering panoramic views of the city, located just a few kilometers north.
