Compact and Affordable Apartment in Nagasaki's Tranquil Takaki Area
This listing presents a compact one-room apartment located in the Takaki 1-chome area of Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture. The property is a rental apartment (アパート) with a monthly rent of 15,000 JPY. There are no additional management or common area fees (管理費無、共益費無). Key financial terms are notably tenant-friendly: no security deposit (敷金無), no key money (礼金無), and no renewal fee (更新料無). The contract period is 2 years.
Translated from the agent's notes, the equipment includes a toilet, a combined bath and toilet unit, shower, washbasin, space for a gas cooker, air conditioning, indoor washing machine space, lighting fixtures, and propane gas for water heating. A special feature noted is two-sided natural light (2面採光). Important remarks indicate that interior renovations are currently in preparation, so some time will be required before move-in. A special condition states that cancellation within less than one year incurs a short-term cancellation penalty of two months' rent. The property is situated on a hill (高台立地), with the nearest train station, Hotarujaya on the Nagasaki Electric Tramway, within a 10-minute walk.
The apartment itself is on the first floor of a two-story wooden building constructed in January 1992. The private floor area is 14 sqm (approximately 4.23 tsubo), laid out as a single room. It is currently vacant and the move-in date is negotiable. The listing requires credit card payment, involvement with a rental guarantee company (Alfa), and specific insurance (Residential Lease Comprehensive Compensation Insurance).
The surrounding Nagasaki City area is rich with history and culture. An interesting fact is that Nagasaki was one of the very few ports open to foreign trade during Japan's period of isolation, deeply influencing its unique architecture, cuisine, and festivals. The closest major landmark from this property is the famous Glover Garden, an open-air museum of historic Western-style homes set on a hillside with panoramic views of Nagasaki harbor, easily accessible via the city's tram network.
